Beautiful leaves, "Stormy Weather", long hugs

1. I think they've had more rain in East Tennessee than we've had here. The leaves between my house and my brother's house were incredible, especially between Crossville and the Clinch River. Every hill was filled with every color between bright yellow and a red so deep it was almost purple, mixed in with the dark greens of the evergreens.
2. I had a chance to listen to some of my CDs that the girls don't like as much as I do. It was fun to drive through the cloudy weather listening to my Previn/McNair "Come Rain or Come Shine" CD. (You can read my review on Amazon.com.) "Don't know why / there's no sun up in the sky . . ."
   
3. Long hugs from my niece.
