Fall is here, one of my favorite times of year. A time when the leaves of fall wave goodbye to the long hot days of Summer. The cool mornings revive me somehow. It is funny how so many of us look forward to summer and by the end of it can't wait for fall.
Some of my favorite things about fall are:
1. The changing of the leaves. I posted once about how the leaves turn from green to reds and oranges and how we can relate this to our lives. The Bible tells us to be instant in season and out. Our lives should reflect the goodness of God no matter what our 'leaf color' is.
2. Fall puts me in the mood to decorate my home. I love to get out my pumpkins, indian corn and fall leaves and place them in various places of my home. I love family traditions and my Mom loved decorating her house for the different seasons and that is why I guess I love it so.

3. Halloween, a fun time to get together with family and friends and just be silly. We have a tradition of dressing up. In order to come to our Halloween party you have to be in costume. This picture is of my sister and I. She came as a clown and I was the infamous 'Octo-Mom'. My sister, my two brothers and myself always went Trick or Treating. Back (in the stone-age) we would get a large brown paper sack and off we would go into the neighborhoods (right by ourselves) and fill them up with all kinds of candies and delights. Things have changed now we wouldn't dare let our little ones go out Trick or Treating without an adult.

The babies love it, they love dressing up and pretending to be Barbie or a Rock Star or a Transformer. Yes, Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time for family to come together and share in fun and laughter and most of all love. Just like a warm October fire, love burns brighter if shared with family and friends.

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes and for your visit. Any friend of Teresa's is a friend of mine. Isn't she the sweetest thing?! Absolutely!
I've enjoyed my visit here and will come back.
I love Fall too, but here in Florida it's still very much Summer. I can still dream though of cooler days and all things Fall I love.
Hugs,
Kat
Love the post. And I love Fall also.
Love to sit in my swing in the cool mornings and enjoy my coffee and a good book. Guess i will be able to do that more this year.
Also, love the cooler evening when we can eat out on the patio.
Yes, fall is great! You are a very good writer.
Fall is my favorite too... I just want to be outside as much as possible!
