The picture made me start remembering the great weather we enjoyed this year in the fall around here. It was exceptionally clear, warm, and mostly dry (not a lot of rain). If you are ever in Akron, be sure to visit Stan Hywet Mansion and grounds. It is spectacular inside and out.

There is a lot tot see, including an aviary with hundreds of live butterflies.

This is a view as you walk through the vineyard.

Lovely garden shaded path that leads to the Quarry, and retention ponds. This estate at one time was entirely self-sufficient from outside sources, growing its own food, cattle, producing its own electricity and water.

One of the beautiful butterflies rsting ona a plant leaf.

And finally, this is one of the terraces that overlook the Japanes Gardens.
