the new view

michelle loves fall. she loves getting out the sweaters and jeans. she loves sipping tea by the fireplace. she loves snuggling under the covers. and she loves the fall colors. but it seems like we get nice fall colors about as often as we get good snowfall around here...maybe once every 5 years or so.

but now that our tree has been chopped down, we get a nice view of the mountain. at sunrise, the colors are all lit up with a red glow, giving a few minutes of deep fall colors. so here's our new view:

I suspect this is about as good as it's going to get for us this year. the first time I woke up and saw these hues, I immediately called michelle over so we could enjoy it together. I think I prefer spring, but since she loves fall, so do I.
