I have been in North Carolina for the past week. Living in north Florida has removed me from the opportunity to see dramatic changes in the fall colors in the trees. Fall in north Florida is more subtle. There is more dew in the mornings and the air has begun to be drier. The clouds are different during the day. The grass has stopped growing so fast. Just a week until Halloween and then the long holiday-filled months of the end of the year...nice to think about.
