We are very sorry, Katrina and Joel, that we did not take you to the National Arboretum while you were here. We know it was on your list of places to visit, but as we had never gone and did not know if it was worth the trip. It is.
In the spring Dot had a class there, where she put together a bunch of plants in a small pot. (They didn't live through our dry summer.) Unfortunately, that day was bitterly cold, with ice hanging around. It was miserable weather to be outside. We planned to go back, but never made it during the summer.
We missed our desired fall activity, the Corn Maze. It just didn't work out. Not that it mattered much - the summer stayed around so long that it didn't feel or look like fall until just a week or so ago. The trees finally began their annual change of color, and we decided to really enjoy it down at the Arboretum.
Oh, and enjoy it we did. The colors were gorgeous, "Just at their peak!" according to the man at the welcome desk. The flame-like colors were amazing, tucked away here, bursting forth there. We went from one spot to another with "Oh, look at this one!" being said over and over again. It was beautiful, wonderful, awesome. (I feel as if I have overdone it with the descriptive words, but then again, check it out here to see for yourself.)
