Autumn is so beautiful -- and so fleeting. Just last weekend we were out enjoying the colorful leaves and gorgeous mountain views; and now, this evening, the wind has whipped up and is blowing the leaves off the trees. I'm not ready for them to be gone yet; fall is our favorite time of the year here at Forest Manor. Somehow, it always goes by much too fast.
I think that winter can be beautiful too, with the bare, lacy branches of the trees stretched across the sky. But for now, I'm celebrating autumn, and I hope all the leaves won't get blown down just yet.
In the mountains of North Carolina, in the small town of Glendale Springs, stands this tiny wooden church. Holy Episcopal Church was built in Glendale Springs in 1901, and is now called Holy Trinity Church of the Fresco.
