and will knock down the beautiful Fall leaves. I am glad I took a hike through my area and took pictures on Saturday. I got some wonderful photos and will plan a whole book of the photos and send some to Jeff's mom, too. The colors have been so joyful. Even on a day when I am not feeling great, they soothe my soul and make me smile. Since we have no curtains on the windows (a concious choice) waking up to see the trees outside my windows is such a glorious way to wake up.
I know it is the "little" things that make life full. A hot cup of coffee in the morning. A warm fire when it is cold outside. A steaming bowl of home-made soup with crusty bread. Sitting on the porch swing. These are what make the world and every day life wonderful. They are to be celebrated. Owning more "stuff" will not make your life better. Appreciating the small things will.
The "kids" or at least some of them will be here in about a week. DD and DSIL will be here on November 2nd. I am excited to see them and for DD to see the changes to the old homeplace. We have tried to perserve the past and the flavor of the old homeplace in the process of renovations. It will be a surprise to her, I am sure. There is a lot that is the same, but in a fresher way. DSIL has not got the attachment that DD does - this has been a part of her life, all of her life. Lets hope it still feels like home.
Off to work - in the rain - but appreciate the rain too. We need it. We have it. It is a good thing.
Be blessed,
Kim
