Fall in the UpState


Camden is a great place to live. It certainly was a great place to grow up. But now that we have lived in other areas I really do think fall is much more impressive further north. We certainly missed the mild winters of SC during our last years with DuPont in the Mid Ohio Valley area - especially when the snow was up to our knees. Spartanburg has been a good compromise for us with cooler summers than Camden or Columbia but plenty of mild winter weather. We still enjoy the typical SC weather but get to enjoy a show of leaves in the fall that just does not happen in the midlands. This is the redbud in our back yard which looks like this for just a few days then drops its leaves like it stole them. Every place has its own beauty. Sometimes in our own back yard.
