Dear Friends, Welcome to October!!!! As I say every month, where is the time going???? I cannot believe that September is over.... Soon it will be Christmas! (Mercy)....
We haven't had much Fall color so far this year in our area (Fairfield Glade, TN)---so I had fun going through my old photos and picking out one for each year to share (2003 - 2021). I put the pictures in order, according to the year. Every year brings different coloring due to the weather --and some years the colors are MUCH better than other years.. ENJOY!!!!

Don't you love ALL of these different colors? The dark oranges are some of my favorites. AND --of course, there are the brilliant red colors and the golden yellows... One that is unique is the almost PINK one!
What are some of your favorite things about Fall besides the colors? I love the smell of Fall, the cooler temperatures, fires in the fireplace, putting on my sweats, college football (ha), hot Chili for dinner, walking in the leaves as they crunch under my feet, ETC.....
Hope you enjoyed some of these photos? Hopefully I will share some of our 2022 Fall Pictures soon.
Hugs,
Betsy💝💛💚💕
