I called my friend. "Are you ready for an adventure?" She was. And so off we headed down the Back country roads to go Leaf peeping. At one scenic spot I stopped my Car to snap a picture, glad that No other vehicle passed by. Further along we pulled into a Nature preserve. Patti and I were the only ones Poking along the trail with our Walking sticks, breathing in the Chilly air and absorbing the Grandeur. When we came to the long flight of Wooden steps, we hesitated. We decided to turn back. Our view from the top was Magnificent. It was enough. After stopping for lunch we explored a Bit more, oohing and aahing at the Colored foliage that stretched along the Highway. "Feast your eyes," I told my friend. "The beauty is fleeting and by next Week it will be gone." Indeed, fall is finicky. We were fortunate that she made Her grand appearance today. |
