We got up early (10 o'clock) and left here at 10:30 for our trip to Hendersonville.  The reason for the trip - I needed a Plum colored hat to wear with my Plum colored suit and it was not to be found here in Pisgah Forest or Brevard.Â
We are headed down the mountain and in front of Ron and
Arlene's house, crossing the road to get their lunch, were three Deer. There was another one hidden by the foliage on the other side of the road. Joann got several really good shots of all of them.  If you remember this is the house that the Bear got into and ate the cake they had on the counter. You can almost always see a White Squirrel and the family of Deer that we saw today and the Bear (which if I never see him it will be alright with me) in front of this house because Ron puts food out for all the animals.Â
As if that was not enough the leaves are slowly but surely turning and the mountains are all the more beautiful with the colors so bright.Â
Oh yes, and that's not all. Joann found a Plum Colored Hat for me and it was on sale, is that great or what? While she was in the store looking for the hat I was walking around the Parking Lot for my exercise for the day. I then went in and tried the hat on and it looks like it was made for me. Joann said "Merry Christmas". It's an early Christmas gift.Â
Still another happening. My Rebecca sent a box with gifts from Italy. She brought me two beautiful black and white scarves. And she always brings me a calendar from the country she is visiting (mostly Italy). She has been bringing me calendars for years and they are always so different, unique really.Â
What can I say about this day - an early Christmas gift from Joann and Bill, scarves and calendar from Becky's trip to Italy. And Deer standing very close to our car.
Hope your day has been as pleasant and happy as mine.Â

Love and prayers from here to thereÂ
