Views from home

The weather this November has been absolutely great so far. This Fall has been full of crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and brisk evenings. Today we decided to take advantage of this gorgeous Fall day and go on a short drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's only a short half hour drive from town and a great way to get some super fresh air and take-in some wonderful scenery. Unfortunately we missed the peak season for the changing of the leaves, but there is also something very beautiful about a nearly barren mountainside with still a few late trees of bright red and orange leaves. It's times like this when I feel I should take more advantage of what's around my own home town and not just when we have visitors. So glad we made this impromptu morning drive into the mountains.
