I spent two weeks in Ireland last month. The timing was troublesome because I truly love watching summer give way to fall. I love how the summer sun

The whole time I was touring the Emerald Isle I fretted that I was missing my most favorite season in the mountains…AUTUMN.

On the other hand, I was not willing to forfeit an opportunity to spend time in my beloved Ireland.

&nbsp;

I truly panicked when the leaves in the higher elevations began to show their shades of yellow, red, and orange early this year. I knew for sure the color change in my little mountain town would be over by the time I returned.

&nbsp;

Much to my delight the tree waited for me!

&nbsp;

Now as I walk Toby and Buster or sit on the porch sipping tea, I can say with Emily Bronte…

Has Mother Nature showered you with her color displays this fall?
