Papa telling how glad he was I didn't put all 75 candles on the cake. He was worried about blowing out 75 candles.

"Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain." ~ Unknown
...or walked in the rain on a warm autumn day or evening with a rainbow of leaves under foot!
When it rains in Indian Ridge it feels heavenly or perhaps cleansing~like peace & happiness washing your cares away. But then again I love the rain and storms! Today has been one of the most beautiful days to be outside. The overcast sky is filled with clouds in so many shades of grey with a gentle rain falling over the changing autumn leaves; while mists of fog float up from random spots along the ridge line like smoke from a chimney. Add to that the sound of the wind rustling through the trees & driving the rain across the ridge. If you enjoy the rain you can't help but to smile and be contently happy on a day like this.
In the evening the rain falls steadier & harder with a completely different rhythm and energy as it taps on the window panes. Rainy nights like this are for taking time to settle into a favorite spot by a window for a cozy quite time with a glass of tea, a blanket, and the light from an old oil lamp and nothing more. Then nestle down with pillow & blanket and lay back to watch the treetops along the ridge sway in the wind & the raindrops fall against the window pane.
Thank you God for showers of rain & how they bless the soul & spirit.

Blue Ridge Parkway
A Touch of love!
I wonder how many walked this same trail and never noticed these heart-shaped leaves.
The above pics were taken while walking a trail off the parkway near Rocky Knob. The last pic was taken in Indian Ridge, but I was so chilled it was hard to steady the camera for a clearer shot. One of these days I will remember to take my jacket & tripod. lol
