Autumn's Touch

Cooler weather is starting to reach our "neck of the woods" now, and here is a picture of my favorite tree in our side yard:



Here is the same tree, a few days later:

Ahh...Autumn

I know that I have posted before about the fact that Autumn is my favorite season, but I just HAVE to say it again! ;-)

Falling into Fun

Our Fall "clean-up" went well this year, as you can tell! Not much was accomplished in the productivity department, but memories were made, and that is the more important part, right? Too bad Sam had to be snoozing...I'm sure he would have loved to join in on the fun. There's always next year, though. I'm sure he will enjoy running through the leaves more than crawling through them, anyway! ;-)


What could possibly be more comfortable than a bed of itchy, scratchy, crunchy leaves?


Christy thought that this was better than being buried in the sand at the beach!

My Favorite Season

Eric bought these beautiful Fall flowers for me!

Autumn officially begins on Monday! This is my favorite time of year. I can have confidence that the hot, humid Summer days are behind me. I can look forward to the cool, crisp breezes and chilly nights. It is natural to feel the urge to snuggle up with my children, reading many books and having long conversations about the changes in life. The Glory of God is displayed in such splendor all around us as the leaves change to rich colors of red, gold, orange and yellow. Signs of harvest show how God is so good to supply us with many simple pleasures.
