Fall's Final Farewell

I may be a little premature here, but as we marvel at the last fading colors of fall and bask in this lovely sunshine and balmy temperatures, we remark that we are truly blessed. Camp Colegate has never looked lovelier, and no surprise, we have been crossing off maintenance projects like little robots. So much of what we've done will make the spring chore list much shorter, maybe some time for fun in the spring. But let me share some of the beauty of fall at Camp Colegate.

Dawn at Camp Colegate.
Grace lies between the bench and the meadow. She would sit on the bench in the evening, watching the sun set.



Burning Bush that came from Glen Colegate's yard years ago.



The Mike Proud tree, gift from our neighbor.
Reminds us of all the Sweet Gums that line I-85 between Chrsi and Julia's.

Trees on fire in the northeast as the sun sets in the southwest.

We have enjoyed our time outdoors, reserving maybe one day a week for exploring.. Yesterday we drove to Clifton, lunched at a truly Italian owned and managed bistro and caught a Woody Allen movie at the Esquire Theater,  Then we drove around Clifton with my Historical Cincinnati Neighborhoods guide, marveliing at all the incredible architecture. Next time I'm going to have to take my camera. The trees impeded our viewing, similar to our experience the week before in Wyoming. These tours are going to have to be repeated in the winter or early spring. There is so much beautiful and historical architecture to take in. We are never lost.
