Great weather again; but wind gusts up to 40-50 mph. With gusts like that…there are a lot less colorful leaves on those trees today. We came across a plowed field that was having it’s own little dust storm going on due to the high winds and nothing planted to hold the soil in place. I can only imagine the dust storms of Arizona that engulf miles and miles of terrain. It must be a pretty scary thing to get caught in the middle of that! Our's are only little dirt devils.
From Iron Mountain, Michigan we headed south toward home. We were so glad we sought out the colors when we did because the colors were fading fast. It’s hard to believe that in 4 short days the bright, eye-catching colors could melt away so quickly. And now with the high winds, those blotches of colors were floating to the ground to form layers of blended browns. There's something beautiful about that too… as we noticed that same transformations when we arrived at our own home.
The warm weather is suppose to continue… so we will have at least another week to enjoy this wonderful Indian Summer. The crunch of the leaves beneath our feet is always a reminder that shortly, a layer of snow will cover these leaves and silence them once again until next fall. Ahhhhhh
