Fall

I love fall!  All the beautiful colors and feeling the crisp air.  I like to hear the crunch of leaves as I walk through the yard.  Pumpkins, apples, fire for roasting hot dogs, fresh baked pumpkin bread, the company of family and friends.  I certainly enjoy the blessings of fall.

I picked up walnuts out of the yard today, two five gallon buckets full.  I am guessing I can pick up four more buckets, however I am not sure I want to pick that many walnuts.  My sister has started collecting walnuts also, and she has plans to buy a wonderful walnut cracker she says will make the job of harvesting walnuts easier.  Hm mm, I am thinking maybe we should work on this task together.

I am about halfway finished with a shawl I started knitting in the spring.  I am anxious to get it finished so I can make another one, or maybe some Christmas gifts.  The Christmas gifts will have to be ones that can be completed quickly though, as usual I have too many irons in the fire.  I am also taking a college class, which so far I am enjoyng.  My first test week was this week, hopefully I passed.

How fast time flies!  I want to savor each and every day that Heavenly Father gives me.  May you each find time to count your blessings and give thank for the gifts we are given.
