August was a fun and exciting month for us. Sewanee students returned for another year of fun and learning. Our cool mountain experienced some of the heat which hit most of the South. We were still cooler, just up a notch. We had the opportunity to visit with a number of wonderful guests.

The heat we experienced in August combined with the lack of rain has hastened the fall changing of colors. We hiked the Shakerag Hollow trail yesterday and were surprised at the leaves already starting to change. I expect the majority of the changing of colors to happen in September this year, not in October as usual.

Come relax with us and enjoy the cooler weather and changing of seasons.
