Autumn colors were brilliant at The Brownstone Manor this year.

The Maples Have It!
It's been an unusally short but gorgeous fall this year, and the changing colors
of maple leaves were caught on camera by Christine Weerts.
From green to yellow to scarlet,
the maples may have won "Best of Show!"
Sadly, early freezes have claimed most of Selma's leaves already!
But I'll be posting more fall colors to help work our way
through the hit of possible record cold temperatures this week.

The Terrace Gate
If you see a sunflower on the terrace gate, then you know it time for storytelling!
Most folks around here associate sunflowers with the late Kathryn Tucker Windham,
who founded the Alabama Tale-Tellin' Festival 36 years ago.
The festival has had many venues during those years,
and now it's located at Carneal ArtsRevive
on the banks of the Alabama River.
The festival is this weekend, so join us for some great family fun!
