With Rain Comes Autumn

This is the second day of rain and temperatures in the 60s. It's been 20+ degrees cooler in the past two days. I'm loving every single second of it. Autumn is my favourite season, even though we don't get to see much Autumn in this area. The leaves turn crisp brown and drop off to herald the coming of Winter way too soon. That's why I like to go back home in the Autumn. In Asheville, every colour on a painter's palette can be found dotting the mountain ranges. We always drive up the parkway as far as we can before being turned back for safety reasons. The ice of the mountains make for dangerous travel once you get too high and the park rangers are very particular when it comes to October.

falkenna and Paul are planning a visit in October. Not sure when, but I do want to meet with them at Malaprops and all of us go up the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the colours. They're going to be stupendous this this because of all the moisture we've had. When we make it to Craggy Dome, I want to take falkenna and Paul to the Faerie Tree down the secret hiking spot. I think they shall be duly impressed and pictures will be taken. I will definitely be taking a food offering and hopefully a libation. The Faerie's deserve it for our intrusion.

I've already made a playlist for the Asheville trip, even though I'm sure it'll be outdone by the talking, which is fine. That's what friends are for ~ communication. The playlist will just be our background music for the merrymaking to be had by us all. I have a surprise for Steph on the playlist though. I want to see her buttdance on my backseat, which I'm sure she will.

It is finally in the 70s and 80s here. Last week, for like 7 days in a row, above average temps, even hitting the 100s again. Yesterday it finally took a slight turn for the better. At night it is actually "cool"! In the mid/high 50s last night. Hubby was smoking on porch and observed two dudes walking down the street in coats and winter hats. People are ridiculous.

Some people have to play at overkill, apparently. I'm glad to have the cooler weather and I hope we have globules of snow this winter. Globules, I say!
