Ah Fall! Yep that is mine as well. In NM all along the Rio Grande the leaves on the cottonwoods change, the crispness in the morning air, Albuquerque balloon Fiesta, the smell of Hatch chili roasting, Carizoso cider, the smell of cedar coming from near by fireplaces, NM state fair, Indian fry bread, the never ending pot of beans and fresh tortillas..... It is the fall when I miss home the most! Spring would be my second choice. Hearing the birds singing, trees in bloom, flowers popping through the soil. People busily hustling around town preparing their gardens. With that special newness if feels as though anything is possible. Awakening of creativity, children's laughter, dogs barking, baby animals emerging. Ah the newness!
I am so excited about the fall this year in a new area. It is anticipation of all God's goodness wrapped up in beautiful hues of reds, orange and yellow. I am excited about the new friends, new foods and experiences.
