fall weather, the season of my birth
the cleverness of children (especially when my spirit is free enough to enjoy it)
cool weather clothes (or not…eliza hates jackets much less coats…goosebumps don’t mean cold)
the sun turning our dining room golden (and being home to see it)
the thrill of guiding groups of preschoolers
i look at this picture and like to imagine myself holding on, being led, in the sunshine, with others, to some good place.
i think that’s how it works.

I love that! I’m going to sit here and concentrate on my spirit being free enough to enjoy the cleverness of my children. I struggle with that. Thanks for phrasing it so perfectly.

I love fall, too! It’s the whole breaking out the long sleeves, getting cozy, making pumpkin stuff, building fires, drinking hot cider and eating powdered donuts on Saturdays on a morning break of raking leaves (very strong tradition in my family), etc, etc.
I’m with ya!

I was feeling a bit dark this evening. Leave it to your blog to raise me back up. Thanks. :)
The last photo is fantastic. You could publish a book of photographs – no joke.
