Fall has arrived in Tennessee. It is like someone flipped a switch. A few days ago the daily tempatures dropped into the lower 70s and the nights into the 50s. We have had rain for the last two weeks straight and that stopped as well. To us this is perfect weather. There is a large tree behind the lodge that is starting to show a little bit of red colors. It is usually the first one to turn. 
We rode up English Mountain the other day and there were a few starting to turn there too. All indications are we will have a very good fall this year. The leaf watchers should be able to view great color starting in about a week all the way through the beginning of November. The higher elevations will be th
e best place to be at the beginning of October and the lower elevations will be best towards the end of October. We still have a few rooms open so if you can get a way, this looks like it will be a very good leaf year.
I wish I had something exciting to share with you, but I guess sometimes no news is good news. I will say the summer went by very fast. I must have been all the napping I was doing. Just don't tell Sue or she will find something for me to do.

Patrick's "Home Inn-Provements"
It has been a lazy summer for me. We did not do much on projects except for the usual 
mowing, painting and tree trimming. I changed out the motor in one of the dryers. I messed around with the old air unit coil a little bit. It had a couple of leaks so I soldered them. I will pressure test them now to make sure they hold.
Take advantage!

Add butter, eggs, orange extract, and orange zest and beat with a handheld electric mixer until well blended.
