Before I moved to the Arizona desert for a few years, I never really appreciated a nice, rainy morning.
Now, about 25 years later, I’m sitting in a small cabin in the mountains of western NC and I’m listening to the gentle sound of falling rain on the roof. I’m enjoying it.
By now, we’re past the hottest days of the summer and I’m enjoying the cool, near-fall weather. A few of the leaves are changing color, but it will be another month or so before they put on their beautiful fall foliage of yellows, oranges, reds, and other colors.
In about a month, we’ll get our first frost and then I’ll start looking forward to the first snow of the year.
One of the things I really love about living in the mountains is watching the changing of the seasons as one year drifts into another.
Right now, I’m taking a little while to appreciate and enjoy it.
All the best,
JD
