It was a full moon. The sky was clear in the Illinois night. The stars were out and shining bright. There were 3 of us determined to get the job done. One had the clippers, one was to deliver the stalks and the eldest was to keep watch for anyone who might want to thwart our efforts. As we stole away to the fields, a sense of exhilaration swept through us all. We quickly assumed our positions and started our various jobs. Within minutes, headlights were spotted and we had to grab the eldest and pull her into the stalks to avoid being revealed. That was a close one but we were all safe. As soon as we were finished, we wrapped up our prize and the 2 youngest sprinted home to safety. The eldest sauntered along as if there was nothing to fear just being out for a walk in the clear, brisk night.
And, it made it all the way back via Honda to Pennsylvania.
And more fall fun pictures.

I'm jealous of the fall experiences. Clearly, I have been down here too long.
