Leaf It To Mother Nature To Use Chlorophyl Like Hair Dye ! Did you know that without the presence of chlorophyll in the leaf, the bright golds, reds, yellows, and browns would be the natural colors seen year round? Today I review the science of It all, as explained in this great piece from SmokyMountains.com. I’m doing this as a public service for all who have forgotten their 5th grade science. Trees just try to cope with winters like the rest of us. (Except I’m not getting rid of my hair dye) Below is a link to the 2018 Fall Foliage Map I thought you might enjoy reviewing so you’re in the right place at the right time. The Spectacular Peak Leaf Season is Upon Us. Soak It up! Thanks SmokyMountains.com

And did you know that Four Columns Inn in Newfane, VT was ‘THE First Farm To Table Restaurant’ in the United States? Nicholas Squire the GM of Four Columns joins the show at 10:20am eastern to give us the latest Vermont report!
