The picture here is the view I have when I sit at my computer and look out the window.We always enjoy the beautiful colors of Fall. Usually, we take a "leaf drive" to McGregor in NE Iowa. There are lots of pretty leaves and wide green valleys there to make the drive worthwhile.
We had planned to go this past Tuesday. Unfortunately, the prediction was that it would be raining most of the day. Besides, Sunday I had flown to Dubuque, then West Union, then back to Cedar Rapids and saw few brilliant colors. So we cancelled the trip.
Last Sunday, the leaves here in CR were mostly green, with some turned. But it was not a sea of color.
Yesterday it was a different story! The leaves have mostly turned , with some being brilliant red! What a difference three days made!
But today is hard on leaves. It's rained about an inch and has been very windy. The leaves aren't fairing well, so yesterday might have been the peak day for beautiful leaves, at least here in CR.
