The rain took a break Wednesday and Thursday, which I appreciate; it gave me a chance to do a longer ride on Wednesday afternoon in very pleasant conditions. Locals also appreciated the beautiful leaves, which have just peaked in color. Then a bunch of wind blew through, followed by some exciting thunderstormy rainstorms, pulling lots of leaves onto the ground.

Our neighborhood maple trees change into gorgeous vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows in the fall. It’s delightful.
