Fall Is On The Way

"Fall:  a time for gathering what one has planted."

Driving home from church on Sunday, I happened to notice in my rear-view mirror an aspen tree already golden.  Mornings have a chill about them.  All a reminder that fall is on its way in the northern hemisphere.  It is hard to imagine that summer is nearly over.  It has been a summer of fixing and maintaining our home.  Dwane was so good at that, but he has not been able to for 6 years, and I did not have the energy for maintenance while caregiving.  Thankfully, this summer I have had the energy to paint the garage, shed, trim on house, fix deck.  It feels so good to be a good steward of this property.  And to finally have energy again.
