Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! The view out my window Oct. 20, 2024. The red in the background is a dogwood behind the maple who is just beginning to turn.

The leaves are turning

 

Our sad Bradford pear tree in the apartment complex is the first to show color. Sad because it looked like it wasn't even going to have leaves this last spring, and certainly skipped the usual blossoms.


I went down Central St., hoping to see the remains of the Friend's Meeting House, which sat on a horseshoe bend in the Swannanoa River. I saw this pretty fall tree, and was stopped from going any further when I got to the group house which may or may not be relocated from it's original location.



The maples outside my windows have started to turn orange. Then overnight last Sunday night (about the 4-5th night with frost) they just boomed into orange!

A bit of bright sunshine even makes this Bradford pear tree look pretty good.

A bit of the view from my bedroom window.

Behind the bank building are a lot of cars for early voters at the next building, the Black Mountain Library. You may notice all the blue skies. No rain since Hurricane Helene came through 27 days ago. None is forecast either. Strange.

Today's quote:

When we trust our creative energy, we encounter a supreme kind of enjoyment—an amazement at the natural unfolding of life beyond our ordinary way of looking at things.
