fall where are you?


Today is the third of October.
I haven't seen too many fall leaves yet.
The grass is still green and growing.
The forecast for tomorrow is 90 degrees.
The air is humid.
The conditioned air is still roaring through the vents.
We don't need a blanket in the night.
The flowers still need watering every day.
I'm certainly not complaining...
would rather it be warm than cold.

Fall, where are you hiding?
When are you going to make yourself known?
The cooler temps will come when we least expect.
One morning soon we will wish we had a blanket on the bed.
The grass will turn brown.
The trees will start shedding.
It will be dark at 6:00 pm.
There will be a fire in the fireplace,
candles all around the house,
a pot of chili on the stove.

O God, Your ways are perfect.
You are in control of all things, even the weather.

I praise you this day because
"There is an appointed time for everything."
Ecclesiastes 3:1
