Fall isn’t as spectacular in our area as it is elsewhere, but it’s nice that it lasts so long. Some trees have now lost their leaves, but other species, such as maples, are reaching their peak. Yesterday I enjoyed a long drive into the hills west of town. I drove through Paradise Valley, then past Chesbro Reservoir and returned to town via Willow Springs Road, enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
Long rides at a leisurely pace like this are good for my leaky heart valve, or at least relaxing. I won’t give up on them unless my cardiologist convinces me too, but I’m pretty sure he’ll agree.
