Anticipation of Fall

Oh, I love fall. Do you? I love the cooling of the weather...the earlier nights...the ending of hot summer days...
The reminder that it's time to slow down...just a little bit.

Soon the trees will be turning their beautiful colors. We will get out the cold-weather clothes and blankets in anticipation of a winter snow...

Hi Darling,
I love everything about fall. Being able to cook inside, cozy nights, I love fall fashion! More layers...hats, scarfs...I love the windows open and the fresh air for doing housecleaning. Wearing longer skirts and cute jackets, boots, gloves, and again, I love scarves. Baking bread, muffins, cookies, cakes and using my slow cooker. More time inside to read, paint, decorate for the holidays...oh dear, I could go on and on...

Kisses,
JennyMay

Hi Emily,
I love Autumn too!
The red, yellow and russet colours of the trees, the cooler temps, the different food that one enjoys in that season, the change of clothing to more snuggly fabrics, the quietening down of the home atmosphere etc.
Beautiful!
Actually, I think each season has special joys to be discovered and entered into.
Love and blessings from my sunny Spring day.. to your lovely Autumn day :-)
Trish

I love autumn, the weather is calmer and gradually goes from hot to cold with in the three months in a very quiet way. Whereas spring can be hot one day and cold the next. Enjoy this beautiful season, whilst I enjoy spring.

So good to see you, Trish!

Jo, I agree--spring here comes with hot days too (not my favorite).

Enjoy your spring you two!

I love the beautiful colors of the leaves changing. I am especially looking forward to the rainy, cooler weather. I live in Texas and I am tired of the heat and drought!

“Every one must have remarked how pleasant is that household in which a cheerful spirit of energy is cultivated by the mistress and mother. It is a pleasant thing to dwell with one who is not troubled by trifling annoyances, who is skilled in looking at the bright side of things, and hoping for the best; with one who believes that all the ways of the Lord are right, and who attaches a deep importance to duty. Such a one will work willingly, in the belief that God has appointed both her lot and her duties, and it is surprising how many obstacles are met and overcome by such a spirit.”

1 Timothy 4:7-11

Thank God, O women for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen in it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it.

Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled.

~ T. DeWitt Talmage

I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him.
