Here in Colorado, after a very cool, wet summer, we didn't have an autumn because of a huge early snowstorm that froze the leaves just when they were turning. That storm dropped 19 inches of snow in our western Denver suburb. The one this weekend dropped another 9-10 inches. That's 2.5 feet of snow and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet. Thanks El Nino.

I have been to Northern Michigan for the Autumn colors and you just brought me back! M119 and the tunnel of leaves was wonderful last year. And I hope the leaves were just as beautiful this year. I will be visiting soon I hope... Maybe a bit of skiing at Boyne Highlands or Nubs Nob for the fun of it! Thank you so much for this post.

We'll smell smoke then, and feel an unexpected sharpness, a thrill of nervousness, swift elation, a sense of sadness and departure. --Thomas Wolfe Then summer fades and passes and October comes.

Where is the outrage against Obama? Tsk, tsk. The piece is a little heavy on modifiers and traces of hackneyed expressions, but I identify with the sentiments completely. Now those colors have given way to bare trees and November brown, with only some of the oaks and beech still hanging on. It must be hunting season Our kayaking is still good, though. The frosts kill off the pondweed and the remote cedar swamps are now easier to reach. Is this a mistake? Where is the outrage against Obama? Tsk, tsk.
