✨💫✨💫✨The premier August 2026 meteor shower is the Perseids, which peaks overnight on August 12–13, 2026. Viewing conditions are optimal this year because the peak coincides with a new moon, leaving skies completely dark and moon-free for rates of 50 to 100+ meteors per hour ✨💫✨💫✨

@theorchardhouseinn Here is a question worth asking before October gets away from you: where will you be when the Blue Ridge hits peak color?  In Nelson County, the mountains usually turn mid to late October, and our front porch faces the whole show.  Mornings start with a two-course breakfast, afternoons belong to the Monticello Wine Trail starting five minutes away at @lovingstonwinery , and evenings wind down at the gas fire pit with a glass of wine.  Reserve your October room now, because peak weekends fill first.  #OrchardHouseBB #BedAndBreakfast #LovingstonVA #NelsonCounty BlueRidgeMountains VirginiaFall FallGetaway LeafPeeping
