Puppies in Madison County

It was a beautiful mid-September day, with warm temperatures, but the tree leaves are starting to signal changes soon to come! Gary needed to travel to southern Warren county, so we drove through Madison County on the way home. We stopped at a couple of the historic covered bridges near Winterset.
