The kids heard my excitement and ran out to see what was going on. Instantly, Ava Beth asked "What is in our trees?". When she realized it was Fall leaves, she too began to squeal. This is the time of year you will find most Texans feeling a sense of rejuvenation. The Fall colors, the cold air and the change brings a renewed spirit to us all. We wait so long for this season and then one day you wake up to find that it really is happening.
Change has come.
So this morning my strength is renewed. Despite the way my 36 week pregnant body is feeling, my spirit is revived. School was supposed to begin about twenty minutes ago but the kids begged to go in the backyard and look for "Fall". Ava Beth asked if she could wear some of her new Fall clothes and Josiah quickly found his "hoodie". School can wait. We always have the afternoon.
The windows are open, hymns are playing, a roast is in the crock pot, a Tyler Candle is burning (my favorite candles in the whole wide world) and the washing machine is buzzing. It's a day I will not waste, nor should you.
"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne

I love the first signs of fall! We do have a few leaves that have changed and it is a little cooler here in NC today. What are TYLER candles?
Finding Fall sounds like school to me! What a sweet day for you and your family.
Oh, sounds absolutely heavenly!
Enjoy the coziness (your home just sounds like such a haven!)
LOVE that you guys took time to enjoy the Fall weather. You are right..."school" can wait. :)
