A neglected blog. A new season...

 Wow.  It's been awhile, hasn't it?
 
We're still here.
 
I thought I'd blog a lot over the summer because I'd have more free time and more fun stuff to talk about.
 
But I had no desire to sit in front of the computer for most of the summer.
 
Maybe in the next few weeks I'll post a little about some of the indoor and outdoor projects that we did...
 
But for now, I'm gonna dedicate this post to a new season
 
I love seasons...don't you?
 
I love the change of seasons.  I especially love fall.
 
I love the colors, and the crisp air.  I love warm sweatshirts and hot drinks and "study dates" in coffee shops.
 
Seems like I was just posting the first signs of spring on the blog...
 
Today is a classic fall day--breezy and overcast...and absolutely beautiful.
 
So, I thought I'd share some first signs of fall:
 
 
~ Pampas grass blowing in the breeze ~



~ Remnants of an abundant harvest ~



 
~ The garden's final blooms ~




~ Leaves kissed with color ~

 




Mmm...  Welcome to fall.  I love it!
 
I hope you're getting out there and drinking it up.  If not, find a little time to immerse yourself in the season and delight in the One who created it for us to enjoy.
 
I love the change of seasons, in nature and in life.
 
God has opened some new doors for our family this fall as well.  It's always so encouraging to see how He uses us from season to season.
 
Maybe you'll hear more about that in the weeks to come, too.
 
But I better save something for later.
 
So, check back soon!  This blog is officially active again.  :-)

Welcome back! Loved seeing Fall, if only in your pics. We're having a week of kinda' summer weather, for the PNW, 70's and sunny. Hard to stay inside! We do school outside as much as possible.

Mindy--thanks for stopping by. It feels good to get back into a routine. I actually missed blogging a little. :-) Glad you enjoyed the taste of fall, but pictures don't do justice. If you wish to experience it in real life again sometime, remember you have a place waiting for you here! But enjoy your kinda summer--it sounds beautiful!
