Fall is the time of color in the Western North Carolina mountains ?the time of harvest for the big red and yellow apples ? time of j the morning chill in the air ? time ? of the flamboyant reds, yellow, 1 bronze, when the warm summer sun slants angle-wise down through the brilliant trees ? a lazy time, j Yet there is a restless, bracing feel to the air ? a hint of change. There's a rush to crowd in days of swimming, sunning. A hurry to finish up with a summertime do ings. The trees are filled with a vast variety of bird life making a leis urely trip south. Along the roadsides huge orange and green-stripped pumpkins are piled high. Apple cider is adver tised for sale on awkward hand lettered signs, as well as sorghum molasses and sourwood honey. The corn is full on the ears, beans popping apen with abundant grow ing. The tomatoes are fat, juicy and delicious. The bears of the Great Smokies are preparing for winter. They, too, are fat and lazy with summer's easy living. On the slopes of the high Blue Ridge there is much activity. The squirrels have detected a slight chill ? as have the quick little chip munks ? the wobbling ground squirrels ? the deer lift dainty, de licate noses to the freshening breeze. Bees, inner machinery humming, make their way over the flowers of fall ? the dahlias. chrysanthe mums. black-eyed susans, zinnias, marigolds, scarlet sage blooms, the last of the delicate morning glories. In the warm dusk the katy-dids chat among themselves or an oc casional hoot owl calls for comp any. The air is alive with the night r.oises of nature. Overnight it seems the blanket o i fall is thrown upon the land. Maples glow flame red and gold. The tulip poplar will be yellow and the dark bronze tone of the birch and buckeye and oak mingles with the lush of the evergreen. Bright red-orange mountain ash berries are to be seen. In the summer sunlight there is a hush ? a waiting ? then human and animal citizens arise . to find that frost has covered everything with a glittering silvery net ? change is over ? winter is at hand.
