Falls-a-comin’

September 16, 2007

I don’t know why but I’ve been feeling rather fallish the last week or so. Maybe it’s because the thermometer has finally dropped below 100. Hey, I live in Southern California! Anyhow, I’ve been thinking about baking breads, and goodies, and hunkering down with a warm fire and a good book. We really don’t hunker down too much here as two little boys don’t really stay inside for days on end easily. There’s no need either when it’s usually hot on Christmas day, but it’s a fun idea.

I think it’s neat how the Lord created seasons, and how he made us to enjoy the change. We start to look for the change and long for it. We anticipate it and enjoy the different sensations and ambiance of the changing seasons. There’s a smell that goes with fall and winter. There’s a big hug feeling when you walk into a cozy home after being out in the chilly air. So, I’m looking forward to those things. I know changing seasons isn’t all romantic feelings and good smelling kitchens, but right now that’s what I’d like to think about. Ofcourse, I’m not dragging my kids all bundled up through the snow, in and out of the car with huge coats and wet shoes into the grocery store and back just for a loaf of bread…so it’s all fun and games here in SO. Cal. Here’s to apple pie and drinking coffee in the afternoon to be warm and snuggly.

  1. Oh Steph, I love the fall too. I am really looking forward to apple pickin’, pumpkin patches and thanksgiving feasts with the kids.

    It makes me miss the crisp cold fall weather back home. The smell of wet leaves and the crunch of acorns under my shoes. Oh I miss home. I think I almost had a tear come to my eye.

    Thanks for sharing.

  2. Oh April, I’m sorry you miss it but I’m so glad you are close to us. Selfish I know! It’s a wonderfully overcast day…lovely.

  3. I was just thinking the same thing today because It was actually cold this morning. I’m excited I get to take my fall clothes out of their hiding place. It’s like shopping without having to pay. Enjoyed the post:)

  4. Yes. And then the funny thing is is that by winter, when we are curled up around the fire, we are planning our summer vactions, wanting to be warm again:)
