One More Day of Summer-ish Weather in Roanoke
When I mentioned a couple days ago about Fall coming, I didn’t know it meant we’d still have room for another 80 degree day in Roanoke. But, that’s just what happened.
I stepped out for lunch today and got something to eat downtown. It’s rather nice out there and seems to me to be one of the last summer-ish days (if not the last one) of the season.

I may even go so far as to say it’s a bit too warm. I wore a jacket to work this morning but won’t have much need for that when quitting time rolls around. The forecast calls for more fall-ish weather in the coming days but as of right now it’s sunny and warm.
It’s Friday too, which is always a good thing.
Have a good weekend.

My husband and I are interested in moving to the Roanoke area in a couple years and so we are visiting it next week to see if we like the area. Your blog is really interesting and help us see what a beautiful place Roanoke is. We are from Florida and have never been to Roanoke before. We are drawn to the area because of the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Since you are a native to Roanoke, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on the sights or places we shouldn’t miss when we visit Roanoke.
Thanks,
Grace

Grace, thanks for reading my blog. I’m going to post an article next week talking about some aspects of Roanoke and why I choose to continue living here. I hope you and your husband enjoy visiting Roanoke, please post another comment afterwards and let me know about your experience.

We absolutely loved Roanoke. I’ve never been to a more beautiful place. It was cold and rainy that whole weekend we were there, but still very pretty. We visited the Natural Bridge Park and were able to take “computer wallpaper” quality pictures (so our family said) of the fall leaves there. We drove around downtown and some of the neighborhoods and fell in love with everything we saw. We can’t wait to move there. Looking forward to your article. Thanks, Grace.
