Just wanted to state the obvious, but the colors this past week have really shown our village off in its best light.
Yesterday I was driving S on Main from Geneva towards town, the sun was shining - WOW!
Every household that chose their plantings with an eye towards fall colors (and from the look of things, that is a lot of households!) is really reaping the benefits this year.
I have never seen the burning bushes so red. We have several Bloodgood Japanese maples and they are outstanding as well. This year the leaves have turned from deep burgundy to a vivid red with orange overtones. I am enjoying the color and taking a lot of photos, because I know what comes next!!!! (That nasty 4 letter word!)
I was just noticing that Sat and Sunday. I was just commenting to my husband that I though we should go for a drive, it was picture perfect. I have to grab my camera. My car goes perfect with the fall foliage. I match the leaves perfectly. Actually I blend in - now I'll probably get hit where as before I stuck out like a sore thumb. My car now can be a spring-summer & 'fall' car.
How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
