Upstate New York is so beautiful! I’m amazed that I didn’t know this from what I heard about it from Wade and my few brief trips here. I’ve been surprised at the great amount of rainfall here, which of course helps maintain the growth of large trees that line the streets and large yards with green trees and grass. The old homes that have been kept, preserved and beautified are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. There are villages and towns, not just cities. We live in the “village” of Palmyra.
Autumn has always been our favorite season. We were married in October and football season is in autumn. We have traditionally taken drives up the canyons of Salt Lake to see the beautiful leaves on all the trees. This year, while not the perfect fall temperatures here in Palmyra, we’ve been blessed to see a frenzy of fall colors of leaves on the trees. It all happened about ten days ago, and is slowly muting as the days go by. So on our off hours from the temple, we drive along the country roads and stop and take pictures as we see some amazing beauty. I’m sure we’ve collectively taken at least 1,000 photos the last few weeks. The Palmyra Temple, Sacred Grove and Hill Cumorah are accented with the colors of the leaves. It’s all more than enough to “please the eye and gladden the heart”. Makes us love this season more and all of God’s glorious creations.
