A Promise

Tree hugger!

FALL is here. I love to think of Fall as Summer's last breath. Just when the life of summer goes out from the heat of August, Fall rushes in and knocks us over with a punch of vivid, warm color. Like an Autumn-hued rainbow, reminding us that their will be life and color once again after this next season. It is just enough to sustain me through the grey of winter. I love this time of year. I love the leaves under my feet, the crisp in the air, the sound of marching bands, the smell of hot chili, the sweatshirts and hiking boots, the sound of people outside, but most of all the momentary burst of life, just before winter.
The kids and I went to the Nature Center to enjoy it yesterday. We saw Wild Turkeys, a ton of squirrels and enjoyed watching a red-eyed turtle swim around and come up for a few peeks at the color bearing down on him. Some of these pics were taken there, some were just taken around our neighborhood. I just can't get enough of it. Anyone want to help with the leaf clean-up? Okay, so that is one drawback!

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace."
Ecc. 3:1-7
