Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of October? 2020? What a year, right? I hope you're enjoying a beautiful autumn wherever you may be. We have some pretty colors here in our town, but we've seen prettier. Weekend before last, we drove up to the mountains for the day, and the colors were so dull; it was as if the leaves were seriously considering just skipping the whole show this year. It was a disappointment, for sure. Chalk another one up to 2020. I am thankful for mostly blue skies and puffy white clouds today. Yesterday, we suffered the leftover wind and rain of Hurricane Zeta, and I realize that what we had was mild indeed compared to what the people of Louisiana have been hit with. There were several large trees down in our neighborhood and the surrounding town; this morning we heard that about 100,000 residents in North Carolina are still without power. In looking at pictures of the Gulf Coast, we were very fortunate.
