Changing

I'm working today.

I'm workin' on me.

If I'm honest I must admit it is not my nature

to welcome Fall.  I've always considered it

a thief who steals away the Summer sun before

the onset of cold days and long nights.  I have

seen it as a beginning to the end of yet another year.

Deep within, behind my cold heart I know

the cool seasons are God's perfect plan for

the world to rest and refresh before it

begins anew.  Who am I to begrudge

this cosmic shut-down?

I am looking, yes, even hunting, for the

joy of the Fall season.  Here's my best

effort to "change" my attitude  as the

world changes her colors.

Our family celebrates the birth of two

of our very favorites this month -

Our youngest son

and our middle Granddoll.

"Thank you God for these precious

ones who enrich our life

and bring us such happiness."

Fall has it's own yummy scent,

that of newly lit fireplaces

mixed with crisp evening air.

Pumpkins are one of my two

favorite colors!

I have great memories of middle school Hayrides,

and that nervous, excited, awkward

"first kiss"!

In Fall

EVERYONE

is a Crafter. . .

and a fabulous Baker!

And on a purely selfish note,

"ORANGE" is one of my best

colors to wear.

(digging deep here)

And the obvious, which we cannot overlook,

 TV

is at it's very BEST!

Ode to Fall

Fall I do not like thee much,

but no, you actually do not suck.

I greet thee now with eyes brand new

knowing candy comes at the end of you.
