A long time ago, a library customer moved to Arizona but returned after a year or so, telling me that "it was just too sunny there." I wonder what he would think now that we've had at least a month of almost constant sunshine? I like it. The mornings are crisp at around 40, and the afternoons are warmish, around 70 degrees. It's been nice for leaf peeping.
Tomorrow Pat has an appointment in Morrisville, so we're looking forward to driving up that way, especially through Stowe and then by Lake Elmore where it's usually very pretty. The foliage may have already gone by but it will still be nice.
We took a walk around the neighborhood this morning and saw a lot of the leaves have already fallen. But there's still plenty of color in this post-peak time. After all these years in Vermont (almost 50), you'd think I wouldn't get excited about the fall colors. But every fall is a little different, and I do love driving around our beautiful state.
