Slower Day

Heiskell, Tennessee

Weather: low 40 degrees, high 72 degrees, clear skies

Yesterday was a busy day for us, and we were wore out by the time we went to bed last night. Both of us woke a little later than normal this morning, and had no ambitions at all about getting out today. About all I did this morning was go for a walk, and even that seemed to be a little difficult to work up the energy for.

After lunch, we continued to hang out at home, until about 1400 hours when I started getting a little fidgety. I asked Carolyn if she wanted to go up to Clinton, and she was ready. Before we left, we promised each other that we wouldn't make this little outing a marathon, and would get back home well before supper. For a change, we kept to our plans, and were home by 1600 hours. That time also included a stop at The WalMart Mall in Clinton. So, it looks like we can get out without making it a marathon.

While we were out and about, we continued our search for fall colors. The colors seem to be undergoing a subtle transformation, with a touch more variety in the colors each day. Unfortunately, we were not as successful in finding good color today like we did yesterday, but, hey, we appreciate what ever we can find.

The hills are getting a little more color, with each day giving us pictures that are better. The pictures of the hills don't really give the color that we are able to see.



Sometimes, we're looking for some other component of beauty in nature, and we miss a feature that is jumping out at us. How about that blue sky? Isn't that something to see?

We did find one picture with some nice color.



Finally, one more picture we took today.



By the time we left The Mall, Carolyn was starting to show some signs of vertigo. That took care of the rest of the day. We know that when she starts having vertigo symptoms, the best thing to do is go home so she can rest her eyes and get away from all the movement and color on the roads. Hopefully, she will feel better tomorrow.

More later, be safe.
