Fall is Here!!!

I can't tell you how much I love Fall!!  It is one of my most favorite times of the year.  I love that it has finally cooled off (Louisiana summers are torture) and the leaves start changing colors.  It is one of God's most beautiful happenings.  It just amazes me at how intricate and detailed nature can be.  And to think God thought it all up!  He thought up how to make the flowers so beautiful, the leaves change, the sky change colors, everything that I adore about nature.  This past weekend we went to the Angola Prison Rodeo with the specific intention of buying porch furniture for our house.  Yes, we have been our house for a little over a year and haven't been able to fully enjoy the large front and back porches.  When we arrived there our main objective was to find the perfect furniture for our porch.  Our dream was to have 2 rocking chairs, a glider and a swing.  Well, we were in luck!!  We found the most beautiful hand crafted cedar furniture!!  With a little bargaining power by my hubby, we finally purchased it.  Although,  my poor hubby was very ill with the dreaded stomach virus.  He tried very hard to hang in there so that Cody could see the rodeo and visit all of the hobby craft area.  However, about 3/4 of the way into the rodeo he couldn't take it anymore and we had to leave.  That meant I had to drive home pulling a trailer!!!  Yes, I did!!!  It was a little scary but after numerous stops for the hubby we made it home safely.  All I could think about when I got home, besides my sick husband, is how much I wanted to enjoy our new furniture.  I so wanted to unload it and sit on our porches admiring the beautiful country surroundings that God provided for us.  I wanted a fresh cup of coffee and to sit on the swing holding hands with Jason and watch our two precious boys playing in the yard.  Although it didn't happen that night I am looking forward to this evening when Jason gets home from work to sit there with him and enjoy the Fall!!  Thank you Lord for our many blessings!!  Especially the beauty of nature!!!
