Fall

Today the clouds have changed from the tempestuous thunderheads of summer to the heavy-laden, gray-bellied clouds of winter.  And those clouds with an almost-summer sun peeking out, makes for beautiful fall weather.  This is perhaps my favorite season of all.

As a child, annual trips to look at the colorful fall display of leaves along the Mississippi River Valley predisposed me to love this season.  And several years in Maryland where prolonged cool makes for showy tree colors didn't hurt, either.  And now, we have the freshness and moisture of the high plains dessert, the brilliant color of the aspens (whoich are just starting to think about changing, and the fresh snow on the mountain peaks.

 These season changes are delightful reminders that God is, indeed, in his heaven, managing and providing. I hope you are enjoying Fall today, too, Gentle Readers.
