Nature's Paintbrush at Work

October 8, 2009: GOD and Nature are at the canvas again, giving us mere mortals fantastic beauty. The leaves are changing to their glorious finery. Today as we went to Clarksburg I noticed that some hills are 40 to 50% while there are others at 20%. I suggest planning the leaf peeping trips soon because the difference today from what it was Monday was dramatic!  The oranges and reds are dotting the hillsides being framed by the yellows and greens around them for a more glorious effect.If you enjoy photography or just like covered bridges, now is the time. Many of the covered bridges have a lovely backdrop of leaves. Oh the great photo op this time of year presents.Although we have not had a frost yet, I have turned the furnace on some. Since we still have a chance of some really warm temps, the A/C units are still in place, but snuggle under the down-filled comforters (Harris Room is feather/down-free so that comforter is fiberfill) or set the thermostat for the electric baseboard heat in your room to your comfort zone.Maria's hills may have been alive with music, but Kathleen's hills are alive with wonderful color. Do come see our beautiful West Virginia Hills.
