Fall Meanderings…..

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” L. M. Montgomery,Anne of Green Gables

I sit in my house looking out the window. I can see the wind is blowing the trees and the leaves are turning beautiful colors. Its the signal for the sleepy time of the seasons. Its getting dark earlier and there is a chill in the air. We begin to bundle up and look forward to fires where we can warm ourselves and pontificate about things in the world while staring at the dancing flames. We talk of life and lessons, about losing our leaves only to go through a winter and come out to new growth in the spring. Then we laugh at ourselves and become quiet by the fire. Come sit with us as we play with the embers and reminisce.

One of my sisters gifted me with a delightful Georgia Peach Rooibos. You would think spring, but the color and the flavor are full and rich and remind me of rust colored leaves. Feeling blessed with such a gift, I brewed a small pot, picked out a beautiful cup, bundled up in a blanket and settled in to read. It is fall.
