I’ve been in different parts of Virginia over the past few weeks and the change in the trees has been remarkable. When I was in Williamsburg at the beginning of the month there was a lot of color in the leaves and shrubs. A nursery at Colonial Williamsburg had rows of greenery and potted plants for sale. Last week I was in the mountains and saw the Natural Bridge. It was quite impressive even though the leaves were gone. Still, the trees can be dramatic even without leaves.

Now is also a good time to look forward to all the upcoming holidays. Happy Thanksgiving!

The leaves are a bit sparse now, Meg, and the wind howling so it’s lovely to look back at these. :) Hope the festive season is kind.
