A VISIT FROM COPPELL FRIENDS

Last week we were glad to hear from Ann and Keith from Coppell. They drove up for a visit. We drove around town and the Park in the DeSoto, took them to the "hot spots" in town, and enjoyed a good long visit. The temperatures were a bit chilly -- cooler than they were used to down in Dallas. We walked around the property and talked about future plans for an art studio and possibly an art gallery in town. The alien-looking castor bean plants are still in bloom, but a few seed pods were dry enough for Ann to take back home for her garden. The trees were in peak fall color.

This week is cold - in the 30's - and windy. Winter is definitely here. We've had one bonfire and hope to have another sometime this weekend. Drew is driving up from Austin for the holiday. The sunsets visible from the front yard are fabulous this time of year, as the trees are losing their leaves.
