Springbrook Nature Center is my favorite place to visit on a good weather day. Different things can be seen by switching up which paths you walk on, what the weather is like, and the season. During the Fall the landscape changes weekly!
Springbrook has gone through many changes in the past year, most of which I am loving. During this walk I found a little path that took me to a little haven full of bright yellow happiness. 
The little yellow flowers above remind me of the sun emblem of Rapunzel’s kingdom in Tangled. 
For a couple months there was this cool tree teepee deep in the woods. I knew some boys who would have loved playing in it, but alas! It was taken down before they could visit. 
Peek-a-boo! 
Happy 1st birthday, little J!! You are loved. 
And happy Thanksgiving, everyone else! I pray you have a blessed time with friends and family.
While Janet was in town this fall, there was the Thresher’s show in Dalton, MN, and I was invited to go check things out! Being a city born and bred girl, I kinda geeked out at all the cool old engines I saw and watching two farmers thresh wheat! WHAAAAT?! 
Chaff! Many of the machines were over a hundred years old! 
All the belts and gears were fascinating! And seeing how the belts are repaired because replacement belts aren’t made anymore! 
The little town there was sweet, with a church, store, and red school house. 
We also watched a Railroad stake being made in the blacksmith shop! 
There was a cute little old man sitting in the General Store. 
One flies away, another sways with the breeze. Some is rimmed in purple, others wind through trees.
Also, this little frog TRIED SO HARD to hide – but he blinked and I saw him.
Fall is my favorite season for a couple reasons. First, THE COLORS! They are glorious! 
I also love how it’s cool (alright, in MN it can get COLD!) at night but warm during the day. 
The reeds look like they’re in ice, don’t they? This day was a PERFECT fall day! 
I went down a path I don’t often take, and saw some pretty colors.
