Autumn Musings

Fall has truly inched its way into Texas. I love this time of year. The nights and mornings are cooler now. My sweet tooth craves candy corn. My dinner menus include lots of soup. I pull out my jeans and my longer sleeved shirts. Football is in full swing. Pumpkin pies will be made and eaten. Summer seems a long, hot dream—one I have no desire to revisit soon.

But mostly what I love about autumn is the promise of winter that tinges the air. I’m so glad God made the seasons to change.

I also love Fall! We are hitting the season hard and heavy up here in Idaho. We've already been in the 40's at night, and the weather forecast is for snow in the surrounding mountains this weekend. The air is clean and fresh with a twinge of wood smoke smell. Ah, so wonderful!
