Nature's Palette


It was gray and drizzling a light rain as I drove to work early this morning. Seems the sun was trying to get through the dark clouds but was struggling to make it. It's only a 12 mile drive from door to door, along a small country road, but it took longer than usual this morning - because I was floored by how the colors of the leaves and grasses had changed over the weekend. I didn't need sunlight - the oranges, yellows, reds, hot pinks, and even some purples were glowing with light. Every turn was a new surprise, and I thought "is this the same road I used driving home on Friday?" Our colors are not even supposed to peak for another two weeks, but I thought this morning "It can't get any better than this!" Or can it?
