were you in jawja in time to see the leaf colors this year? the fall
colors down here in the coastal plains have just now
peaked...magnificent. best i've seen in years...but also later in the
season. the mountain colors must have been incredible...

The colors were very nice. Not as nice as New England, but still very
nice. They didn't turn at near the same as in NE. The dogwoods were
first to peak with their deep reds, then the sour gums in bright reds.
Maples next with beautiful yellows, oranges and reds, then the oaks.
White oaks in a beautiful burgandy red, while the other oaks are their
normal brown. The view from our sunroom was breathtaking. My youngest
daughter and her family visited last week-end and the oooohs and aaaahs
were aplenty. When the deer showed up, including the 6 point buck, the
kids were amazed. They had never been so close to deer before, never
mind feeding them apples and corn.

still trying to figure out a building scheme for our lot/land in graham
county. right now, all we want is a one-bedroom, 1000 square foot,
well-constructed and designed building. simple, easy, for geezer
living. it would have been nice to be up there. my favorite mountain
range for year-round living and enjoyment. plus, you've some geezer
streams to show me. g

ONE bedroom? Where the hell are we supposed to sleep? d;o)

If it's anything like your little place near Boone, I am sure it will
be very comfy, and anyplace Rachel is at will be warm.

I have a few geezer streams we can visit. Some good, some not so good,
but it's fishin'. Not as good as what you would have in Gra-ham County.

Will be in Mass tomorrow and in the hospital Dec 8 for hip replacement.
Next summer I'll have the right one done, then I won't need old geezer
streams. d;o)
