Oh, Bumble

We arrived in Newland, North Carolina a few days back and we are enjoying the cooler weather. ย It’s amazing the difference of low humidity and mountain air. ย Happiness is sitting outside on our friends deck surrounded by the early fall colors of trees beginning to turn yellow and red. ย The mountains here are masses of green with such a variety of trees that you get the ever changing colors. ย Yesterday we stopped by a community garden to see what was growing.

The first thing that caught my eye were the vibrant colors. ย The ย bright yellow marigolds with bumble bees in mass, drinking in the sweet nectar of the flowers. ย The cracked edges of the bright red tomatoes, the peppers that were late in harvesting turning from green to a deep inky black and the masses of cherry tomatoes in all colors were a feast to the eyes. ย  Fall bounty still producing, getting ready for the winter dormancy, isn’t nature amazing?
