Fall


A few weeks ago I noticed a few things. My hostas were bloomed. I had walnuts falling in my yard. When I mentioned this fact to folks, they said it because of the lack of rain. Then the other night it was 48 degrees! I have yet to have anyone tell me that was from lack of rain. The Farmers Almanac predicts "numbs the word". I have a feeling they are right! Is this a huge discussion in Barry County? The farmers might be discussing it. I have not been to Ritchies, so I am not so sure what is on their dashboard. I am tiring of politics, tired of economics, and definitely tired of being tired! I had to ask myself, "Bebe what do you love?", (yes I know speaking to and answering oneself is cause for concern) the answer was I love Fall. I then decided to share this love.

As a few of you may have pulled from some of my post, I hold dear to the "old generation". This may have led plenty of you to think I am old. To the contrary I am not! I am still not a preacher, nor do I work at the jail (for those of you taking notes).

I enjoy the high school football games, hearing the marching band, Halloween, the changing of color, I even love the colder night air. I seem to get refreshed. Like a child going to their first day of school! The apple cider, crisp apples, and warm cinnamon donut holes. Warm me with thoughts of family togetherness. I remember shuffling my feet, dragging them on the ground through the fallen leafs. To this day I still do this! My glass is normally half full, and I can find things in all four seasons to enjoy and love. Still Fall is at the top of my list.

For a change in conversation of politics, and rumors, why not share some of your thoughts. Share your favorite season, memory, activity, possibly you may want to discuss the upcoming weather.
