We've been blessed with a series of days (and weeks) with amazing weather. The sun has been shining, cool breezes have been blowing, and the insects have not been in full attack mode. These pleasant days made it so the changing leaves took me by surprise when I noticed them today. I've already had to start wearing a jacket in the mornings, but I fully expect frost to come soon too.
Already the nights have grown long enough to be noticable. Soon it will be time to pack up the hammock swing and cargo shorts. Pumpkin treats and cider will start feeling more appropriate. Hay mazes and Halloween decorations are on the way.
As much as I have loved the recent weather, I still feel blessed to live in a place where the seasons change and bring fresh experiences. It reminds me that life is full of changes, and that most of them are not bad.
