In Rocky Mount. NC – Stepheny’s Cure for Election Jitters

For just a moment, let’s escape. Here are five paintings (artist unknown) that capture the pure essence of fall: the rolling golden leaves, the burnished reds, and the quiet stillness of an autumn day. Let these paintings remind us of crisp air, open windows, and landscapes aglow — that perfect, nostalgia-soaked warmth unique to autumn.

Early November brings us that much-anticipated shift that feels like a sweet breath of fresh air after the summer’s heat. With November 5 around the corner, the election season pulses in the background. But here, on Main Street, our reprieve is in autumn’s gentle invitation is to step back, pause, and wrap ourselves in it colorful embrace.

Each brushstroke celebrates this nostalgic season. Rocky Mount’s own Main Street hums with the same quiet strength that these autumn colors bring, as trees turn to gold and storefronts reflect fall’s softer light.

So, as we step into the season, let’s not forget to take it all in. Fall in Rocky Mount is here, and it’s not to be missed. Be sure you vote, leave that vote, and your prayers behind and step back into fall.
