Fall Beauty & Fun

When I was in Indiana in October, Mom and I would go somewhere and then I would drive around forever taking lots of pictures of the trees!  So I have several more to post!  One day we stopped at one of my favorite places that has been around for years - Acorn Farm.  Not too many people know about it.  They don't really advertise.

Acorn Farm used to be a camp for kids.  Click HERE to read about it.  Now there is the country store and they hold events there in the old camp buildings.  Google Acorn Farm Country Store, Westfield, IN  to read some nice reviews.  Every year about this time they have seminars and show you how to decorate with some of the items they sell and give recipes for holiday entertaining.  Mom went last night.  It's a really neat store in a house with 13 rooms of things to look at or buy.    This first picture was taken somewhere else but this is what it looks like when you drive back the winding lane at Acorn Farm.  The second picture was taken outside the store.
On the Acorn Farm property.  This bright yellow tree is a gingko tree.
This is what you see as you open the door of the store - and the stove was giving off some heat which felt good.

If you like antiques and old dishes, they have lots!

I found 4 pretty lunch size chintz plates to buy.
Saw this nice barn used for weddings and other events.  Nice setting with a gazebo in the yard too.

Found this covered bridge in a neighborhood.


Loved this one taken the morning I left for home.
