Fall has finally hit the south, and I love it!!

Cooler nights and mornings, and seventies during the day improve my mood considerably. Lexie and I can walk, I can sit on my deck and breathe in the cool fresh air. 

Halloween decorations are everywhere and some are totally ridiculous, but this colorful entrance is nice to look at. I would not want that in front of my door, however.

Barry and I always vacationed in the mountains in the fall. This is a picture of him at one of

our rentals. Great memories for me.

We are not having this color yet, but hope we will before long.
This is my back yard last fall.

Stu and Barry enjoyed riding bicycles at Cades Cove, a beautiful place in fall.

I hope you are having good weather and that you can get out and enjoy it. I plan to spend more time outdoors in the coming weeks. 

What is your favorite time of year? 

AUTUMN - Is it finally here?

It seemed that we would have no autumn this year. The temperature went from nineties to fifties suddenly, but for a few days we are having great fall weather. The leaves are beginning to change and to fall, a month later than usual.

Pumpkins are a big symbol of Fall. I see them everywhere.

Morning view from my house of mountains peeking up through the fog. 

One of my favorite photos of Barry, my late husband.

My woods turn color every year, but later this year. 

Barry Beall, on left and Stu Moring at Cades Cove years ago. These men
were like brothers. We took vacations with the Morings (Gay and Stu) for many years.  

If you live where fall is happening, hope you have a brilliant and bright autumn before the cold comes in.
