Autumn is a beautiful time of the year.
Although the leaves have not been as gorgeous this year as they have been other years, there are still wonderful displays of color. On the way to Altoona last Wednesday I saw a lone tree at the top of a hill that would take poetry to describe. The early rays of the sun just set it ablaze with color that literally took my breath away. The cool nights and pleasant days have clearly replaced the oppressive summer heat of August so that it is just a faint memory. There seems to be an excitement in the air.
