Gorgeous Fall Colors!

Fall has always been my favorite season. When I was young, Fall meant the smell of apples as we worked in the orchard. Once the apples were picked, we'd sort them on the sorting table in the apple cellar. I still remember the smell of the apple celler...that wonderful smell of earth and fresh apples.

The apple trees are all gone now, but Fall remains my favorite season. It's amazing to me the brilliant colors the result from less sunlight for the trees. The colors here are just starting to change. Today, we passed a lane that was lined with trees on both sides. On the east side of the lane, every tree was a brilliant red. On the west side of the lane, the trees were still completely green. At just the right point during our drive, the trees lined up so that they alternated red and green. It was gorgeous, the contast between the two colors.
