Yesterday I walked up to the falls with our director of landscaping, and we were talking about how beautiful the leaves are this year. The summer was hot and dry but that has just made the colors more brilliant. We both were reminded of the fact that leaves are their prettiest when they are dying. (Some of my friends will understand the analogy.) Few things are more striking than a Red Maple tree in the fall.

Wonder what Joseph’s coat of many colors looked like? I believe there are times when God smiles at us!

This past weekend was Currahee Military Weekend and the citizens of Stephens county gathered to honor veterans and particularly the men of Easy Company—the World War II paratroopers, who dropped into France and helped to liberate allied forces.

Yesterday, I woke up to a wonder looking sky and couldn’t resist taking this photo and the one that follows. This one looks into the rising sun and the next one . . . .

was taken looking in the opposite direction. Years ago, I knew guy who ended up going into the Navy. He would always tell me: “Red sky at morning sailor take warning. Red sky at night; sailor’s delight.” I think I have written this before but who cares!

Toccoa Falls College was the lead sponsor of Saturday’s air show during Currahee Military weekend and this is just a sample of the spectacular view that everyone enjoyed.
