This post is a couple of weeks old but the trees are bare. It seemed to happen over night. One day everything was bright and colorful and then a wind comes along and blows all the leaves off. It was really evident when I drove toward Nashville this weekend. The interstates in this part of the country are really quite scenic. In between cities, the highways go through windy and hilly sections of the state with very little evidence of development. The woods come right up to the edge of the road. It's a drastic departure from central Texas where businesses and strip malls tend to migrate to the highway.Anyway...the scenery was very different on the drive this weekend. I guess I have about 5 months until everything is green again.
