Autumn Afternoon in the Country

Noel and I were fortunate enough to be invited to an "Autumn Afternoon in the Country". A couple from our church has a friend who owns this ranch near Mt Baldy. It's about a 40 minute drive from where we live, but feels like a completely different world! It feels like a forest and there was a great hiking trail we were able to take and do some exploring. We met a few new church people and enjoyed a great afternoon of hiking, appetizers, dinner, dessert (pumpkin cheesecake!!!!!) and conversation.

This cat was so sweet, until it started sticking its front claws through our jeans! Seated next to is is our Associate pastor's husband, Don. We really enjoyed getting to know him better.

This was towards the beginning of our hike. These are the only colored leaves we've seen all season! We'll take what we can get.

This is part of the ranch that the party was held at. It was so beautiful inside and out.
