Soon autumn will be upon us. The air will be laced with the aroma of burning wood as good friends and lovers sit around a bonfire. The aroma of pumpkin spice will fill homes. It’s a time when you grab the one you love and embrace each other as you watch the dancing flames of the fire.
It’s the time of year when you reflect on the events of the summer and give thanks for all you have. Kitchens come alive as families begin canning the bounty of their gardens. Their reward for their hard work.
It’s the time of year to dust off the chili pot and dig out your chili recipes. Apple cider and apple pies are abundant. The nights become cooler and a chill is in the air.
Soon the countryside will display the beauty of the changing leaves. Mother Nature begins preparing Mother Earth for the coming of winter.
Autumn is my favorite time of year. The beautiful colored leaves and crisp autumn mornings wake my soul and I feel more alive this time of year than any other time of year. I am thankful that I have been blessed with the joy of another autumn.
This weekend we started our celebration of fall. Friends, bonfire, and homemade chili. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Be kind to one another and spread the love!

Doing it Wayne. Good times. The scream of a big throaty bobcat within 50 yards of the fire made me put another log on the fire…Little dog Buddy, made for the house. I guess I’m the guard dog.

I can’t wait for autumn, my favorite time of the year. Today is the first very cool morning we’ve had and it’s lovely!

Actually, for as wonderful as autumn is, especially with friends around a campfire or picnic table, “IT” will get better even than this! One day we will share with friends around a throne and see the Lamb thereon, not being “roasted” 😄, but being worshiped, with no death, pain nor illness to discourage or distress.
What a Day THAT will be❗❗

No rush – I’ll be working all day – and turkey sounds like a smart move… plus these days (maybe always?) it’s less expensive…
