Leaf Color at Peak in Western North Carolina Mountains






Lines from poem" Living on the Mountain"
by Nancy Simpson

...Whether they bow or stand tall,
they do so with a dignity
that can't be bought.
These woods belong to me,
every maple and oak
How may women do you know
who own a forest?
From my deck, I smell trees
and I am filled with wealth. ...
