Leaves still green
Looking from my porch here in Asheville, the leaves on the surrounding mountains are still green. However, there are a few patches of dark reddish brown leaves on my Maple trees out back. Nothing to get excited about. The color changes usually sneaks up on you here. The leaves start changing in early October, peak around the middle of the month then by Halloween they are through. Halloween is usually chilly enough to wear a sweater or a coat.

Autumn leaves
The leaves aren’t changing yet here in the NC Mountains. It still green. It usually doesn’t start getting pretty here till October though. The draught and heat this past summer isn’t suppose to have any effect on the colors. Its cooled off the past few weeks where you need a sweater at night. Its very comfortable in the day. You know Fall is here by the way the air feels. I cant describe it, I just know it.

Tripps for lunch
We went to Tripps for lunch today. The restaurant is located in Downtown Asheville. My son and I go here at least once a month. I have the grilled chicken salad and he has the Caribbean chicken pasta plate. With drinks, the meal came to 28.00 without tip. We like eating here cause the service is good most of the time. Today, we went about 3:00 and the place was not busy at all. The hostess sat us in the bar area. We’ve never sat there before. We waited a good long time and nobody waited on us so I went up to the hostess and politely asked her to seat us elsewhere. She did and told the waiter to wait on us pronto. After that, we had no problem. We still would go back just we wont accept seating in the bar section again. The manager made several rounds to see if everyone eating in the restaurant was okay.
