What a beautiful fall this has been! Autumn is my favorite season, I think it is most everyone's. Everything is at its most beautiful. I like thinking about how these are the leaves' natural colors, that this beauty is there all through the summer, life just hides it from us. Maybe a bit like how I feel being forty. I feel more beautiful, not because I actually am, but because I am truly me, I have reached a season in my life where the true bits of me can no longer be hid. Of course, the decay is starting to show just a bit through the beauty, just like me! lol Back ache in the morning, back ache at night. Little bits of grumbling here and there from an otherwise healthy body that has been very good to me, and given me a great life. But that is not what I started writing this entry about! Sometimes autumn is a season that escapes me before we have a chance to enjoy it. After a lazy summer, fall suddenly explodes with activities and then the holiday season is here, and autumn is gone. This year though, we truly took the time to enjoy ourselves. Corn mazes, pumpkin patches, we would have picked apples if the frost had not killed the blossoms in the spring. It has been beautiful and so restful to all of our souls. It is starting to fade and Walt tells me in Pa, it is already gone. It snowed the other day in my corner of Nebraska. But at least this year, I feel sated. With still a bit more left to do! I think this week we will take one more hike down the nature trials, one more picnic, maybe make some leaf prints....... If only every time I went into a store they weren't already playing Christmas music! lol Love Christmas, intend to enjoy it when it comes. Just not yet done with Autumn...... |
