joy of autumn

I LOVE perfect weather. When it's REALLY warm like 95 degrees and really sunny I LOVE that weather, it's like perfect beach/road trip weather and I LOVE it! When I am driving and enjoying the weather I am NEVER down, it's so hard to be sad. Sometimes I see things in this world that are so beautiful I feel like I need to just fall over because I can't stand to God's beauty that he has given me to recieve everyday!

Oh, I love autumn so much! This is the first day it's been cool enough to turn off the A/C in the house and open up the windows. We had a pretty cool rain last night, so it really cooled everything down for today. I went outside on the terrace this morning with my coffee, and a good book and just enjoyed the sights and sounds. The leaves are already turning colors and falling off the trees- and that it such a beautiful sight. My bird feeder was crowded with birds as I sat out there- they didn't even mind my company. I just repotted some mums yesterday, and they really add beautiful color to our terrace. Not having a yard is hard for me b/c I love to garden, but as long as I have a few blooms and faethered friends nearby, I'm a happy girl. Oh, but not without my coffee! Happy fall, everyone!

I must admit, I'm jealous. In Miami, autumn means dropping from 88 to 85 degrees, and maybe humidity of 75% instead of 90%. All that changes are the pages on the calendars. I hope everyone will post lots of autumn-leaves photos!

You are right. It is a beautiful world around us and we should take in the beauty while we are here. It can be refreshing in a world of confusion sometimes to just look outside our door and enjoy the beautiful sky or mountains and to just have some peace of mind. I do enjoy the autumn time. I have always liked the fall and the leaves from the trees.
