We're past the halfway point in October and the mountains are ablaze with color. The hickory trees are especially bright, adorned in yellow. Night time temps are in the mid thirties and there's a touch of frost along the river. Fall ushers in a most beautiful time of the year. The final quarter of the year begins with beautiful colors and concludes with the sights, sounds and smells of Thanksgiving and Christmas. October thru December is a wonderful time to be in the mountains. All the fraser firs have been sheared and the buds for next years growth look great. 2010 was a fantastic year for growing Christmas trees and we have 1000 ready to go. Our choose and cut season will begin on November 22 and will conclude on December 20. Sandy and I welcome you to come on up the mountain and choose your tree. While you're here, make time to enjoy a cup of coffee or cider and a christmas cookie with us. It's on the house and it's our way of saying thanks. On Saturdays, you can sip that drink by the campfire and roast a marshmallow. Once you're here, relax, cuz choosing the right tree is meant to be memorable and fun.
I like the picture with the leaves framing the shot.
