Fall Color

North Georgia in mid-to-late-October is one of my favorite places in the world.  It's nippy in the mornings and I'm loving the colors.

The leaves are not at their peak, but the leaves are changing.  Day loves boiled peanuts so we stopped by a peanut and apple stand (they are dotted along every road) and bought a bag and tasted cinnamon apple cider.  We drove to Jasper on Day's birthday Thursday to look at bolts of colorful fabric in a quilt shop, then ate at an excellent farm-to-table restaurant next door.

Yesterday we went to Clayton and drove a beautiful curvy mountain road to Highlands, North Carolina.  Between Clayton and Highlands, we spent about an hour at a roadside gourd sale--we love gourds!  Carlene got a purple painted gourd and we bought unpainted and painted gourd bird houses  for gifts.   Then we shopped for another hour at a crafts shop.   These are my favorite kinds of days--good meals and conversations, poking around!
