Seasons

I thought that I had better get something posted on my blog before I am listed MIA. It's been a while.

Fall is in the air and the children will soon be returning to school. It has been a wonderful summer and I have squeezed every drop of goodness out of it, savoring long morning walks, sweet berries, fragrant blooms, sun tea, warm evenings on the deck listening to the frogs sing, and the unhurried pace. Now, I am looking forward to favorite sweaters, raindrops against my windows, crisp fall apples, coffee dates with friends, and the routine that the school year brings.

I love the seasons. I appreciate the rainfall so much after experiencing blisteringly hot summer nights during which it is nearly impossible to sleep. Likewise, I appreciate the warmth of spring after being snowbound by record snow fall. Every season has its wonderful advantages that make me long for them, and challenges that make me grateful for their departure.

I am also loving this season of my life. I don't know what lies ahead but I know that according to Jeremiah 29:11, its something good.
