Happy Autumn!


Well dear friends, the midterm results are in and I have done really well. 2 A-'s and 2 B+'s. I just need to keep up the momentum! Praise God! The weather has finally turned 'crispy' here in B.C. I say 'finally' because it is by far my favourite time of year! I know that for many, spring is best because it signals new life and new growth. There is a sense of starting over. There is the anticipation of warm days ahead, of summer holidays just around the corner. But for me, the autumn is when I feel the most comfortable in my skin. I love to feel cozy, warm, secure. I love the holidays that come with the onset of fall, Thanksgiving, Halloween (yes, even as a Christian, I love Halloween!) and then Christmas. I love the colors and the smells and the sounds of autumn. Now perhaps, there is a bit of pride involved in my love of the cooler weather as I definitely look better in clothes that 'hide' more than in those short-sleeved, short legged summer clothes. Ah well....now you all know my insecurities. Anyways, happy Autumn to you! And now, I have to start my 16 page paper! Yikes!! Hugs to you all

Praying for you, Becky, as you delved into that paper! 16 pages?!! Yeah, yikes!

Autumn is my favorite time of year too, and I just love October. Always been my favorite month. But I love the last 3 months of the year - so much going on.

I just we here in Texas had bit more of the actual fall-like weather!

Fall/Autumn is my favorite of all. Walking in the rain, watching as the grass turns green again and trees show off the bright yellows, oranges, and reds. Cuddling up with a warm quilt and a good book and not feeling guilty about all the things I did not get done out in the yard. Yes, Fall is my favorite of all. (ok, I will admit, the long sleeves and dark clothes do hide a bit of my fluffy body but that is just a bonus for the season!)

I like fall as well but I think it is because God chooses to show the true glry of maturity!

Congrats on your marks. Hard work and confidence in God-given abilities pays off.

I love the colors of fall, but I do not look forward at all to winter, even our mild west-coast ones. I think it has something to do with my early years in Arizona.

But, curling up with a good book in front of the gas fireplace has its merits.

Have fun on that 16 page paper!!

16 pages? Piece of cake! Of course, that's just the opinion of a long-winded preacher who likes to write... ;)

Congrats on the grades!

I tried to leave a comment for you the other night, but could not get it to work? Anyway, you are doing great! I hope I do that well in school. I absolultly love, a warm fire, the leaves, the cool air, cinnamon, apples, candy and all of that stuff!

I'm praying for the papers!
