Festival of Leaves 2022 Week #6: October Color in the Blackstone Valley
I keep thinking that with each long period of rain, the leaves will all drop. They are dropping, but not all of them. Some are actually just at peak right now, especially directly in front of our house.





The leaves in today’s sunshine looked like jewels. Even though I love autumn, I actually think the colors this year have been above and beyond anything we’ve seen before. Garry went into town to pick some odds and ends at the grocery. There was a big truck parked in the road stopping traffic. Just when he was beginning to get restless, he looked around and the entire world was glowing with ruby and golden leaves. He decided he wasn’t, after all, in a hurry. It was time to relax and enjoy this amazing world.

Well, SOMETHING likes the weather! I was not expecting such great color. Maybe it’s because it FINALLY rained?

Wonderful surprise! It has been like 8-10 years since we had an autumn like this.

I can’t remember one this brilliant. Even the OAKS turned red — and they NEVER do that.
