Autumn leaves.

Summer has ended  and Fall has slivered its way through the Colorado mountains. The leaves have begun changing colors and the wind is a bit stronger. The sunset is earlier and the sunrise is later.  The animals are gathering twigs, branches, and all of natures offerings to endure a warm cozy home for Winters bitter cold snow. As the days go on I smile with the change because I am making amends in my life. As the season changes I feel the change in me as well. I prefer the warm sun, green grass, the animals roaming free, and the flowers blooming beautifully, but nonetheless the autumn change is just what I needed. I will strive to make the most of it. Late night study sessions, writing love letters to my soldier, plenty of coffee and baking in the kitchen, movie nights with my girls and plenty of talking, boots and cute winter jackets are a plus as well! Let's rejoice and be glad! There is a silver lining in every cloud and there is joy in every season.
