Foggy Blue Ridge

We have been very low on rainfall since the deluges this Spring and would welcome any rain, however to have all the cloud cover and dreary fog and no rain is horrible. The last few days has made any veiwing of the beautiful changing of the fall leaves impossible. The skyline is so fogged in that driving the parkway is really not possible and really downright dangerous with all the deer thrown into the mix. Enough of the doom and gloom on the brighter side the cool crisp air has been wonderful not to mention all the great festivals that are going on in the area. The Woolwine Octoberfest (applebutter festival) was a big hit. We peeled 185 bushels of apples and made some wonderful applebutter to sell. The Apple Dumpling festival is this weekend in Stuart and the JEB Stuart renactment in Ararat was also a big success.
The fog will soon clear and the fiery colors of Fall will once again reappear and life will move on.
