is really here...our leaves are changing more rapidly...the weather is fairly consistently cool. There is talk we may see the first snow before Thanksgiving. Wow - I am loving the seasons and full-time experiencing these changes. This weekend is the start of our community's Sorghum Festival - a great chance to engage in old fashioned fun and experiences....greased pole climbing, wood-chopping, making wash-day beans, a mule turns the mill to grind the sorghum to make sorghum syrup...arts and crafts....festival food...music....just a great way to spend time on a weekend.
The food tastes wonderful - is it because it is outdoors in the cool, fresh air? Is it the old fashioned recipes? Is it the place where it all comes together? Can't be sure, but I can be sure that it will be fun - a great time for a photo-shoot.
It is great to be in the community where people love to live their lives this way. They love the sharing. Our church celebrates their 2nd anniversary with a covered dish lunch after service. I plan to make the stuffing in the pumpkin dish. The getting together and sharing makes this a beautiful community - simple and happy. Maybe that is the secret to life - simple and happy. God does not tell us to be miserable - He tells us to have Joy. I am willing to try - how about you?
Be blessed,
Kim
