Perfection

Well perfection is not a word I use often. I very rarely describe anything as perfect. There are to many little things that seem to corrupt or get in way of perfection. That being said the weather here along the river seems to be just that. Perfect. The mornings are cool & foggy-perfect for sleeping in. Mid-day is full of sunshine & cool breezes, perfect for working outdoors or resting in the hammock. Evenings are chilly with no mosquitoes in site, perfect for wrapping up in a quilt and reading a book on the porch. Everything seems just perfect.

Fall Is On It's Way

The days are noticeably shorter. The nights are definitely cooler. The air is crisp and the leaves are beginning to change. Just a hint, but it is there. If you have never experienced fall along the Buffalo River, you have never experienced fall. It is unsurpassed beauty. The streams are clear, the air is clean and leaves turn a magical shade of gold, orange & red. Not to mention the elk bugle and the other wildlife start moving and preparing for the winter to come. I hope no one thinks that just because they don't float the river to often in fall that there is nothing to do. That is far from the truth. There is so much to do & see! Hiking and horseback riding season is in it's prime during fall. Photography along the river this time of year is wonderful. Rock climbers like the cooler temps and cavers-well not to much changes in the caves-at least that I know of. So please don't think that because the floating has slowed down you have to wait until spring to visit. Come on in- the weather is perfect!
