Endings and new beginnings

I'm finally heading south for the winter, currently sitting in a mostly deserted state park campground in northern Iowa. It was rainy and very windy driving, and there is a bit of fog, but the temperature has been nice for this late in the year. There aren't a lot of leaves left on the trees, but there is still a little color. I've spent the past few weeks enjoying the unseasonably warm weather and wishing it didn't have to end.

As a result of a delayed departure and an earlier than expected birth I was blessed to be able to meet my grandson who was born last evening. :)
