The Fall glow @ Pine Valley

Fall has been a little disappointing up on Cedar Mountain this year.  Usually it's my favorite place, but it has been so dry that the trees just didn't seem to have it in them to put on much color this year.  I love Fall; it's my favorite season, so to lose it makes me sad.  But we found some pretty up in Pine Valley on a short hike, thank goodness.  I always love this place too, and though maybe not as bright as usual, it was still in color that brought joy to the heart.  Just a little time there is so good for the soul!  And we had an extra that made it even better.  Paul spotted an apple tree there in the middle of these forest trees...and it had little yellow apples.  He was able to harvest a couple and they were delicious!  So funny to find and apple tree there!  We've hiked up here many times, but never noticed it before this year.
