One Last Look at Autumn in the Alleghenies...


Spent the afternoon at Browns - for one last cleanup and planting. A special thanks to the West End Improvement Group.
They were thinning out their Haws Pike Garden and we were the lucky winners - so we planted everything they gave us and it should all be very beautiful come Spring - all along the fence lines on both sides.
And since the colors are fading fast - just one more look up the mountain and the beauty of the Alleghenies. This is Sons of Italy Road.
All this is on the way to Browns.

Finishing up what where we started at Browns.
This lovely lady of the forest sits right next to the cemetery.
With one last look at the cemetery on a glorious fall afternoon.
Just took the flag down for the winter.
My favorite view up the mountain. This is what you see when standing at the cemetery looking up towards the Cambria-Westmoreland County line. The three apple trees on the left hand side - over 150 years old - I call the Three Sisters - remnants of the original Harshberger Grove. Family members would hold picnics - play the fiddle then drink and dance until dawn...
The pond at Browns.
And we finish up with one final look at the cemetery - on what was a lovely fall afternoon.

Thank you for posting the pictures of PA woods in the fall. I have such wonderful old memories of the times I spent in the woods with my Dad and by my self. If it was not for your pictures I would never seem the woods of PA again.
Thanks
