Although Fall doesn't officially start until September 23rd, yesterday's much needed all-day rainstorm stripped enough leaves from the poplars to freckle the trail. Our morning walk featured a plethora of goldenrod reverently bowing their heads in thanks of the moisture. Isn't it amazing how quickly the earth can change? First a long, dry hot spell causes the plants to start to die back. Then cooler temperatures and bit of rainfall cause a sudden surge growth.
Don't you just love the changing colors?
The high temperature today is expected to reach a mere 60 degrees Fahrenheit. With humidity levels at 84%, that's a bit too cold for this hothouse flower - even with layers and wool socks. Our Sunday morning hike has been postponed until the sun breaks through the clouds.
Here's hoping y'all make the most of your day!
Blessed be.
