Seasons

Fall is coming. I don’t think I could say I love fall more than the other seasons, but it’s up there. Brightly colored leaves – I love that satisfying crunch they make under your feet. The chill in the air – it was 55 degrees this morning (although it is supposed to get up to 95 this afternoon. Not very fall-ish). I get to air out my cardigans and corduroys. It is a beautiful time of year in the Northwest.

The other seasons have their redeeming factors, though…

In the winter I get to sip hot cocoa and sing songs about my baby king. We always get a couple of snow days that shut the world down. It is a time of reflection and joy.

Spring brings new life to the trees. Pink blossoms open wide, as well as an empty tomb. This time I wear capris with my cardigans. It feels like a tea party.

We roll with the windows down in the summer. The sun bakes our skin golden and stays out all day so we can play. The barbecue is my favorite cooking tool (we barbecued pizzas last night).

I can’t say which is my favorite. Nay, I will praise God for his creative creation. What joy in the changing seasons!

I couldn't agree more...this is a great way to see you are around and well! I am glad your dad was thoughtful enough to connect us this way, in fact I admit tonight at 12:30am is the first time I read your comment, I didn't know I even had any! ;o)
