Yesterday, on our way back from Crystal Lake, Illinois, Liz and I stopped at the Greenhouse, a great name for a nursery, and it was in full fall splendor. Besides being set in the woods, the place was literally overrun with mums of every hue, pumpkins with that vibrant orange and corn shocks.
We've driven by the place many times, but never stopped. Been meaning to, but just haven't. If for no other reason, they have two Muffler Men and you don't often get to see two of them in one place.
I walked around and took lots and lots of pictures. Just about everywhere I looked, there was a really fine frame for a great shot. And, they had a special on where any pumpkin cost $3.95 and they had some mighty big ones.
Well worth a stop if you're on Illinois Highway 31 between McHenry and Crystal Lake. For that matter, stop at your own local nursery.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
