A Year of Three Fall Seasons

 


#88 October 22:  This isn’t exactly something I’ve learned, but something I’ve come to appreciate.  I am truly blessed this year to experience 3 different Falls!  The leaves in the Pacific NW were about a month ahead of Charlotte and the views especially in the Cascades were exquisite.  Today I write from Park’s Peak in Bat Cave NC where the leaves are almost at peak and our drive is an amazing canopy of yellows and reds.  I’ll go down the mountain next week where Charlotte will explode in a riot of color in 2-3 weeks.  The older I get, the more I appreciate nature:  Fall leaves, sunsets, and sunrises!  This morning there was a “bounce effect” and the sky above Shumont Mountain (to our SW) was streaked in a glorious pink and blue with the yellow, red, and green leaves below.  I live in a rainbow!!  10/22

This is my happy place.  I sit here and read and write at the "internet bar" at Park's Peak.  This time of year it doesn't get any better!
