I got a good start to my laundry and cruised around the house picking things up that I had missed since the weekend when some of the grandkids spent several days at the house. They love to play with legos and usually the rule is that they have stay in the play area in the living room. They aren't allowed to leave the room with them and especially not outside. However, with 5 kids it's really hard to keep my eye on them all the time. I've been finding legos everywhere, so yesterday when I moved furniture and was cleaning around and under things I kept finding them. I thought surely I've found them all, then I'd find some more. I even found some on the shelving unit in the garage!
I was doing really good at giving my kitchen floor a good cleaning when my husband came home from work to grab a bite to eat before he goes down to the farm to help with filling the silo. That brought a halt to the cleaning and laundry for a bit. Before I knew it, it was time to grab a shower and leave for my hair appointment.
On the way, to Mattoon for my appointment I used the time to search for signs of fall. I stopped and took pictures of corn fields that seemed to stretch for miles, soy bean fields that are rapidly changing color and fields with lots of goldenrod on the border. I know that farmers don't enjoy the goldenrod but I love the vibrant color. There was a pile of spilled corn on the road too, a sure sign of harvest.
