Change Of Seasons

It's such a beautiful day today. I am reminded of why I chose to live here in the first place. It's a day that makes you want to take a picnic lunch and a go on a nice hike in the beautiful mountains. It's still technically summer until the 23rd, but the sunlight is slanting a little lower, casting a glow on the fields ready for harvest. Cooler days make comfortable excursions through coloring forests. There's plenty of adventures to be had. It's my favorite time of the year. And my part of the world enjoys the autumn onslaught of changing leaves and tourists that is a huge industry here in Asheville, NC, near the Blue Ridge Mountains. Taking a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway is what many tourists and natives enjoy. Nature's annual autumn color festival is certainly one of the greatest shows on earth.


Close by is also the Biltmore House, and also Chimney Rock that you can visit. The peak "Leaf Season" is usually the middle of October, and is pretty much over by Oct 31.
