Every October, my friend Pat and I take a trip north to see our dear friend Lyn Cote.  We could encounter rain, sleet, snow or fog and never see the beautiful fall colors up there, and still enjoy every moment. It would still be a joy to have that long weekend with Lyn and her family.

But…a bonus is that we often do get to see peak color up there.  And, because Pat and I live seven hours south, the peak generally hits later.

In fact, it’s now three weeks later, and our colors are blazing here out in the country where I live.  My husband planted some new oaks and maples a couple of years ago, and they are the prettiest scarlet right now,  Do you have all four seasons where you live?

I thought I would share some photos here from my Wisconsin trip, but if you go to my Facebook profile at www.facebook.com/roxanne.rustand  you can see a much larger album of fall photos starting later today.  I’ll post again on Friday here and add some more, though.

I love fall and winter….the bright fall colors, the pristine beauty of snow.  What is your favorite season?
