AUTUMN'S PROMISE & REMEMBRANCE

Right in the middle of political frenzy and religious remembrance comes Autumn.  It brings holiday observance for those of faith as well a sense of awe for the impact custom and nature can have.

Suddenly roads and fields are dry.  Clouds that seemed to be permanently fixed above us are gone.  The drenching rain gives way to a fine and billowing mist.  The sky becomes crystal clear and temperatures drop.  Trees and shrubs show their color and reveal the hiding places of small creatures.

 We know Autumn will give way to Winter too soon but we delight in this season as it is. We promise ourselves to enjoy the crunch of leaves under foot before we need to deal with snow and ice.
