Take a break and enjoy the beauty of autumn.
It's easy to get caught up in the news headlines, in the stories that make life here seem so bleak and colorless.
Politicians slinging mud? That's brown.
Economy struggling? Gray.
Mood of the nation? Deep blue.
But take a moment. Catch your breath. Look around and see the colorful rainbows that brighten our hillsides and our fields and our roadways. Let the beauty hearten and encourage you. Take heart, we live in a beautiful corner of the earth.
