Embracing Autumn



I have been so busy lately that I haven't had time to get out and enjoy the lovely fall landscape. After I dropped my daughter off at kindergarten, I took a drive around Lancaster County Park...





I parked at the covered bridge and took a little hike...








Then I went to Woodward Hill Cemetery in Lancaster. I've always wanted to check it out. 
President James Buchanan is buried there. 
I was underwhelmed by his grave.


I liked this grave site better. 



I think the lady above looks a bit sadder than the lady below. 
The one below has a slight Mona Lisa smile.



Since I saw Buchanan's grave I thought I should go get a better look at his house, Wheatland.


The back was just as nice as the front and had a nice little veggie garden growing too. 


And some lovely trees.
Just what I was looking for...


Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
