And Even More Foliage!

We just can't get enough of this beautiful foliage!

These first pictures are along our usual morning walk route. I've show many of the same trees before but the colors have gotten more intense.







We went to a pumpkin patch yesterday and saw these trees.



This morning, we decided to take a longer walk and retraced the route that the hayride took at Oaktoberfest.



This is looking up the hill toward Oakham Town Center. This street, Ware Corners, becomes our street, Coldbrook Rd. at the top of the hill and our house is 4 doors down the other side of the hill. The stone building on the left is the town library. The Congregational Church and Town Hall are on the right.

Most of the Oaktoberfest events were held at the sports field below the library.

My favorite tree so far is at this Revolutionary War era cemetery behind the Congregational Church. They keep little American flags on the graves of  Revolutionary War veterans and casualties.
I meant to mention the other day. A local weekly paper (that we'd never heard of) recently did a mass distribution of a single issue. News about what's happening in Oakham is difficult to come by and this paper had a lot of it so we will probably subscribe. At any rate, the first thing that we noticed was that, on the front page above the fold, there was a picture of Maya enjoying the Stupendous Mr. Magichead at Oaktoberfest. It was taken from behind her but it was still quite a coincidence.
