The windows of my apartment look out over the Courtyard. There is only one real problem of living in this retirement community — there just aren’t any birds to look at in our Courtyard.

But this morning when I looked out my bedroom window I was stunned to see so many colors in the trees. I suppose having that beautiful color take the place of birds isn’t too bad. Maybe that is just a sign of aging…shifting from one exciting view to another. Anyway it is stunningly gorgeous for a day or two to have four different colors so close. There seems to be no reason to rush to New England to view colors.
