October 2012 - A MOST BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN IN THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS



This fall is the most beautiful autumn in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Yes, I know. I do say that almost every year. This season is more special to me, probably because I'm staying close to home and my children have been  around the house a lot more.  We have taken more opportunities to drive out and about in the  neighborhood.

"Living Above the Frost Line" we see flowers bloom until the hard freeze, sometimes after all of the leaves are on the ground.
