September brings changes. The grandchildren are in school, our pool has been closed for the winter, and the nearby canyons are showing autumn colors.
On September 16th, we went with our friends Hal and Christy Smith on a nice drive to see the fall colors starting in Hobble Creek Canyon and taking the loop over the mountain and returning down Diamond Fork Canyon.

The colors are also turning on Maple Mountain
behind our home.
We had a huge corn crop that we shared
with family and friends.
Sam gave away at least 30 wheelbarrows full of corn,
and it was really good corn.

A happy time was had enjoying a visit with
Patti Busch
and Jennifer Gilson and children,
when we got together at Colin's home in Kamas, Utah,
on September 10th.
Patti was visiting from South Dakota,
and the Gilsons now live in Blanding, Utah.

Colin showed us their knight in armor,
which they have plans to restore and
move into their front yard.

Megan, Amanda, and Rebecca
with their mom and two grandmas,
Irene and Narene,
in Spanish Fork
waiting to see the play,
Into the Woods.
September 17th, we enjoyed the free entertainment at
Spanish Fork City Park Pavilion,
where we especially liked the concert by BYU's Vocal Point.
(Ethan, Narene, Beth, and Joshua;
Amanda, Megan, and Rebecca were also there with friends.)

An unsual tree on the grounds of the
county building in Provo
where we went to take Sam's application to renew his passport.
There were numerous posts planted to hold up the spreading branches.
I took this photo of the Provo City Center Temple
as we drove by on our way home.

This is one of the last swimming parties
for the summer.
Sam has the pool winterized now that school has started.

A memory from years gone by.
Marlowe e-mailed me this photo
after seeing the one in my last blog entry
of my granddaughter Megan wearing the polka-dot skirt I made
that matches the one my sister, Louise, made and is wearing
in this picture.
