Good morning, Mrs. Bear...and to all our Hostesses and all the Finest...)

Thanks for the thead today...I enjoy the Finest tours thru the USA.

Never been to Vermont, but I was in Massachussets for a frozen weekend in February, once...visited a Maple syrup maker, out on the backroads in the Western part of the state...wayyyyyyyy yummy pancakes, that fine day...)

Being a cowboy from the SW, I feel drawn to the magic of the New England states, so different than what I'm familiar with...and, covered bridges are magical.

Back in '90, I was in rural, upstate Pennsylvania for a week, to visit my brother and his family...it was October-time...the Lord gets to use all the colors in His palette when Autumn comes to New England...good grief, how beautiful!

A day cool and gray greets me this morning...but already, the news has me boiling and I'm ready to pinch the head offa any Dimokrat I see...hmmm, maybe I'd better stay home until I cool down...grrrrrrrrrr...)

Good morning, jw! Love the fall colors - that kind of scenery makes for such beautiful driving! Have never been to New England to see the 'colors', but there are many other states where we've had that pleasure. America the Beautiful - truly!

Oh, what a gorgeous, gorgeous picture!!

I was born in Massachusetts on a crisp morning in early October. I am told that my first "outing", a week or so later, was during the peak of the autumn color. Unfortunately we left that part of the country before I was old enough to actually remember the glorious New England autumns.....although it feels like I remember it. It's there, somewhere. :-)
