Ah, Autumn...


Autumn is my favorite, most favorite time of the year! I love the cooling weather and frosty nights (ask any woman in her late 40's and she will most likely love cooling weather).

I love the ~

fall colors, oranges, reds, and yellows
mountains of pumpkins
displays of harvested gourds and squash
yellow straw bales

scarecrows
drifting leaves
pumpkin mazes
frosty breath hanging in the air

fuzzy horses with beginnings of winter coats
diamond covered yards decorated with ice
crisp apples fresh from the trees
bountiful produce, soon to disappear into freezers and pantries

shorter days
drifts of wood smoke from cozy fireplaces
warm jackets and long sleeves
pumpkin scones and pumpkin butter

Thanksgiving around the corner
Christmas a few blocks beyond Thanksgiving
family
the Lord, the gracious provider of all things wonderful

Autumn is just too beautiful for words and images.
