During the autunm, you could see the change. They start to change. The yellows. The reds. IT was very pretty . L Youcan see high up on the mountains. EA Ahuh. Right above whereyou live. Andyou could just sit on the porch there and watch the wholenountainsi.de change colors. I know I do. When we go - like on vacation,we go to the moutains, I feel like I've come home. I'm home. I'm finally home. I'm in the mountains. I feel, you know, just fel something.Like hey,this is whereI'm supposed to be - the mountains. Because you miss some-ting. I think I do.
