Autumn has arrived, and with it my favorite colors have showed up. An eventful autumn it is. It's a season of challenges and blessings, business and new commitments, transitions and beautiful moments to soak in. A few wonderful happenings have occurred so far in this autumn season. I'll share them with you in brief.
a short, yet wonderful camping trip to Red River Gorge. This was just at the beginning of the season, so the leaves were just beginning to turn red...but hadn't quite reached their deepness...yet they are at it's peak now, and what a breathtaking sight it is.
I've been spending quite a bit of time with Henri Nouwen and Wendell Berry, being reminded about solitude and how connected we are to Creation. I've also been cooking and baking quite a bit in my new (to me) yellow kitchen. Squash soup, squash bread, cabbage soaking in a crock pot and many loaves of bread are frequently coming out of my great gift of a bread machine...and the best part is being able to share these delicious concoctions with loved ones. It's also been nice to meet neighbors and brushing up on my swahili with a few neighborhood kids that have been popping their heads in. how i have missed their culture!
i guess this was more of a brief update instead of one of those 'thoughtful blogs' i never really get to. life is just too busy these days to be spending time in front of a screen, and i'm totally ok with that.
enjoy the colors, smells and the layers of the season!
