> Ths year we had a wet spring, a very dry summer and a record breaking
September and October. Most rain durinG September and October of this year
than any year since records have been kept. If the dry spell had continued
through the early fall, color woiu\d don have developed in the leaves. They
would have sort of dried up. With the late rain, trees this year are a riot
of color. Hillsides that were cornfields fifty or more years ago, and now
covered with young, dogwood, maple, and hickory resemble a VanGogh painting.

> We are told that the leaves do not turn from green to reds,hyellows and
browns in the fall. The color deveolpes during the growing season and shows
up when the green fades away.

> So if you love color and get a little intoxicated with it, come to eastern
Kentucky this fall and go on a color bender.
