Fall in Virginia

Its not hard to guess what Andy's favorite time of year is, of course fall because of deer hunting, but I'm guessing that not many people know that it is also my favorite time of year! I love when the weather starts to turn crisp and cool and autumn colors start making their way out. This year has not doubt been the prettiest fall I've ever seen. The trees have turned magnificent colors this year because of all the rain and cool summer. Everywhere you look there are bright reds, yellows, and oranges on the trees. It is really one of the coolest things I have ever seen. We feel so lucky to live in the mountains of Virginia during this time. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous day. We decided to start off the morning on a drive through the mountains behind our house. It was sunny and about 65 degrees, which is just about perfect. Then we hiked up our backyard to see the view from on top of our own personal mountain. You can't say that when you live in Illinois!!
