Favorite Season

September 30, 2009October 6, 2009 John Appalachian Mountains, Autumn, Blowing Rock, Boone, fall, seasons

I think we get our Autumn here in January, the time of year when these nasty live oaks dump a big portion of their leaves. Still, there is a rhythm that comes with the seasons no matter where one lives, and I love this time of year for the sense of “settling-in.”
