Today we had nothing specific marked on our calendar, with the exception of Andrew having to work at the freshman football game. Since that fell right in the middle of the day, I decided it would be a great opportunity to take the kids up to see my mom. I know that she has really, really missed them, and although it can be tiring for her, we only stay about an hour so I try to make sure she has an opportunity to see them. We left here about 11:00 and headed north. We have had beautiful weather here this week with temps in the upper 70's/low 80's, virtually no humidity, and not a cloud in the sky. Today is no exception. For some odd reason*, the leaves are turning here about two weeks earlier than normal, and today's drive up was absolutely gorgeous. I am so grateful we made the effort to get up there. It was a great visit for everyone, and the scenery was breathtaking!
*The meteorologists are claiming that the leaves are changing because we have had one of the driest Septembers on record. That may be true, but there is also a "meteorological rumor" that we are going to have another really hard Winter and get our first big snow storm in October (unheard of around here)! I am hoping that the leaves changing is not a foreshadowing that the trees know something we don't know!
