1. I love the cooler temperatures ranging from a little above freezing to the high 50's and low 60's.

6. I love the new beginning that fall seems to bring me.
7. I love playoff baseball.
8. I love taking the girls around the neighborhood for trick or treating.
9. I love the sense of satisfaction I feel when the leaves are raked.
10. I love fires with friends on a chilly night.
I always feel more alive in autumn. As if I have this clearer vision of God, life, and my purpose on earth. I realize for others it is summer, spring, or for you real sick people - winter. But I love the seasons and how the earth changes and in some way how we change with it. The seasons roll on and the years continue to add up and I am learning more and more to create that space in life to enjoy the little things God brings our way. As Gretchen tells me, "to enjoy the little things." During the fall, I see more of these "little things" and all these little things begin to add up into a collection of memories to draw from for the not so good seasons in life. Below are some "little thing memories" for me from so far this fall.

Loved this post. I was just telling Jen Lore Kruse tonight when we met for coffee that I do my best/most reflecting in the fall. It's the crispness in the air I think... who knows. And of course the first picture brings fond memories for us too.
This post was so nice. It made my night. Or morning since it is 4 am. I am going with morning!: )
What sweet pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk down the Miller's Fall Lane...
Hi Noobs. Glad you have stuff you liked about this season. Well, that's all I got.

I looked at the pictures again. You and Gretchen post so infrequently. What is going on? You can't rustle up a once a week post AT LEAST? Hmmmmm?
