Here's to Fall, and here's to Iowa, where's it's always half autumn!


The October Country
That country where it is always turning late in the year.
That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist.
Where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay
That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun
That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts
Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain....

Oh, that's brilliant, I'm convinced now. Go hide in a metropolis somewhere. Maybe you won't have to see the sun for whole months. :grope:

I love the place, but that's a tad too far south, I think.

Don't be mean. It is clearly the midwest, just not what I consider October country.

Yeah, the trees between Illinois and Kansas don't change at all. :roll:

Just Fall doesn't have that feeling for me. The trees change in Texas, too.

But post some pics if and whatnot if anyone wants to. I've not spend much, some, but not much, time in rural Missouri.
