For a long time, we always assumed the local business community had some kind of special agreement with the Creator.
Seemed like no matter what the weather was between Memorial Day and mid-October, sometime during Columbus Day weekend our red maples, beautiful beech trees and colorful fruit trees would bust out in their full autumn regalia - flaming reds, pure yellows, and sparkling crunchy browns perfect for wading your shoes through...
Until this year.
I don't know what we did to change this situation. (Is He upset we're considering moving up the presidential primary, so that it could fall during the Christmas season?) Yet for some reasons, this year - it just didn't happen.
We all agreed it has something to do with the weather - a summer that was warmer and dryer than most, then a spat of cool early fall days, then a "real" Indian summer, with temperatures the last three days reaching into the eighties.
None of us are smart enough to know the answer. (Doesn't matter anyway since the state will still say it was "beautiful as ever.")
But whatever the reason, here it is, Monday night, the conclusion of the Columbus Day weekend, and it was only later this afternoon - when Interstate 93 began being plugged with visitors' cars heading south from Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam, Squam, Newfound, et al, - that the bright summer sunshine showed off some of our best fall colors.
It was kind of a too-brief celebration, marking the end of "the season".
But it's also a reminder.
"Come back, as soon as you can," it said. "There's nothing quite like life in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire."
