The Leaves of Autumn

     It's the time of year again for being particularly Thankful.  I almost forgot.  I've had so much to think about lately.  Depending on how overwhelmed I feel with idea next year, this might be the last time for awhile that I do Thankful posts for the whole month.  I hope you enjoy each post.  It's always good for me to be able to remember how I'm so blessed.

     As we have been driving around, and watching the season change from Summer to Autumn, I realized that Autumn is my favorite season for scenery.  The different colors of the leaves and plants are so miraculous!  I really wish that they could stay those colors the rest of the year.  There's something magical about Fall and how the cold weather can do such work to foliage.  There are times when I feel like we didn't get enough of Autumn and it just slipped past us so quickly.  By December 1st we almost demand that we have snow and freezing weather.  (Some of you are experiencing that now already!)  I'm glad that we have this season to get us ready for the cold and sometimes harsh Winter.  I do love the hues that fall to the ground.  However, I could do without the clean up.  ;)

I'm thankful our Heavenly Father gave us the blessing of changing colors in Autumn so that we could enjoy the change in seasons more.
