Autumn....

I thought summer was my favorite season, but now that Autumn is here, i just don't know. Spring comes and I can hardly W-A-I-T to get my fingers in the soft dirt. I go to the green house, looking for something... ANYTHING i can plant that won't freeze because of my impatience. Then finally, it warms up enough and i am happily planting tiny seeds and tender plants. Tilling , mulching, and adding new plants to my growing collection. Then summer comes, and i soak up the warm sun; weeding and cultivating might be a chore for many, but for me, most of the time it is my relaxation, my hobby, and therefore can hardly be "work". I gather fresh produce, and can, freeze, and store the blessing of harvest.

Then sometime, right around the end of Aug or so, i look forward to a break. Plants aren't in their prime, the garden needs to be cleaned out, and i look forward to days inside, with candles, and music, sewing and scrap booking. I don't mind the rain and overcast skies. Rather, it is a reprieve from the sunshine and its energy that it seems to infuse in me. I feel more melancholy, more laid back and preparing for those soon-to -come days of being snowed in, and giving the children warm cocoa with marshmallows floating on top.

For now, i will enjoy today. I have my wonderful wonderful husband, my sweet children, my family, my friends, and a cozy house. I have Jesus; He is all i need to enjoy each day to the fullest. And i want to do that with all my heart. I would love my obituary to say "lived each day as though she had not another to live". Wouldn't you?

Ok, so this post is random, again. I guess i am predictably random:)
