Fall has arrived in East Tennessee. The leaves have begun to change with hues of yellow, red and orange. It seems earlier this year or maybe I'm just getting older and time seems to be moving more rapidly. Abundant quantities of pumpkins, mums and gourds are piled high at road side markets. I purchased a few and have some set around the pond and throughout our lawn.
The table was set earlier in the day anticipating the hours we would spend there. I arranged a candle in an old wine bottle expecting to still be sitting here as the sun went down.
Bob opened the champagne as the sound of pop, cracking and fizzing filled the glasses. The bubbles where like shooting stars going off in all directions.
Jean, Bob, Stone and I sat on the porch gabbing away the hours.
