FALL FAVES!

Some things speak autumn at our house.
The sight of Psalm 143:8 on my computer screen. 
Sight of ginkgos on Grandview. (Genesis 2:9)
Smell of chili cooking.
Taste of pumpkin roll and Werther's Original Harvest Caramels.
Sound of rattling from the glass pumpkin jar lid....an alert that someone is helping self to some candy corn.
It's how I knew my oldest grandson had come through town for a visit. 
I almost heard him before I even saw him.

How grateful I am the Lord God created seasons for us to savor with all our senses.

FALL WALK-A BOUT!

Fall began for us last night at 9:04 pm CDT.
So grateful for God's creation of seasons,...."seedtime and harvest, cold and heat" especially in the area where I live. (Genesis 8:22) A move from petal peeping to leaf peeping.
Today is the first time temps have dropped in weeks enough to take a "cool" morning walk. A glorious time in" my" neighborhood. (Acts 17:26)
Without a doubt gingko fall foliage is my favorite.....
.....one on the left is beginning its magnificent brilliance while the one on the right is just beginning. A great motivator to keep me walking daily. BTW, yesterday's USA 9/22/22- 6A, gave a map w/ dates for leaf peepers in all states to plan peak times for their fall foliage peeks.
Sometimes yard signs show support of coming and goings in which neighbors participate. Ride for Education. LeBonheur Children's Hospital. St. Jude.
This one was so timely---a great reminder that this weekend is the Pink Palace Crafts Fair. Hooray for 50 years of art, food and fun!
So many eye blessings on my walk means I'll share more in the coming days.
I conclude with "changing" door wreaths. I love Mimi's! A great reason to always walk down her street. 
Door wreaths are a reminder of the good ole South......and why I so  love my fall "neighborhood walk-a-bout!"
