Fall colors lighting up the hillsides behind the Snowshed Pond.

Brrr... it is starting to get cooler everyday. I contemplated putting on blue jeans this morning, but opted for a pair of summer shorts. Blue jeans will become the standard daytime attire soon enough.

Pictures in the news this morning reported snow on the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. It won't be long now before we can say the same thing about the top of Killington Peak. Everyday it is getting a little cooler. Every night, it is starting to get cold. While we have not had a frost yet, there have been several nights already where we have flirted with one.

All of this is, of course, pointing to a season of change. The trees all around central Vermont are starting to take on fall hues of varying intensity. While it is several weeks early for brilliant color, you can tell in your travels around the area that change is afoot.

The trees on Killington Peak are starting to take on some color; as are the trees behind the inn. A couple more cold nights and cool days will set the process, starting a cascade of color which will ripple across the area like waves at high tide. It is all a beautiful site.

Where ever you may be keep it in the fairway, and don't forget your sun screen!(at least for a few more weeks.)
