We love Autumn!

Autumn is a time for jumping in leaves, gathering final garden fruits, and telling stories around the campfire. We especially cherish the annual outing to the pumpkin patch, where games, hayrides, and apple cider warm both body and soul and build memories span generations. As a parting gesture, autumn winds bath the earth in a kalaidescope of reds, yellows, oranges and browns, a fitting preparation for the earth's well-deserved slumber. It's a time of thanks to Heaven and Earth for bountiful gifts richly bestowed. And a time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus' birth. God bless everyone this autumn season.

We're truly grateful to have each other and hope that soon we'll have another to share our joys, and sorrows, and fun, even after our work on Earth is done.
