Yesterday was the day of a Broadway show tune...

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Today we have the result.

While the rains of yesterday did knock down many of the leaves that were in their color change transition, it has freed up the remaining leaves on the trees to begin their state change from summer to fall. Colors throughout the area today are quite brilliant. While twigs are showing on some of the trees, there are still plenty of red, yellow, orange, and green hues in the forest canopy to set a beautiful tableau for those fortunate enough to be travelling through Vermont's Green Mountains.

Guests staying with us last night were reporting nice color along Route 4 to the east towards Woodstock, and along Route 100 south to Ludlow. Route 103 from Ludlow to Route 7 in Wallingford coming back through Rutland is also developing nice color. The western slopes of the Green Mountains are several days behind the eastern slopes in color development, as is normally the case each year.

Overall, color through the Green Mountains will provide plenty of beautiful vista's for "Leaf Peepers" through the next several weeks, and over next weekend's Columbus Day holiday. And then, at least for those of us in Killington, our thoughts will start to turn towards winter snow.

The restaurant at the Birch Ridge Inn is open each night for the next 2 weeks for evening dinner service to celebrate fall. If you are in Killington stop bye.

Where ever you may be .. keep it in the fairway...And take in some of the fall foliage beauty of Vermont.
