Just a few ramblings here...not sure if it will flow or not, but it's what I've been thinking about lately.
If you are from the northern part of the U.S. you have been experiencing the season's change. Right now where we live there is still a lot of green, but there are also a lot of trees changing colors. It's beautiful...some areas are so beyond description. The news channels have been saying that northern Wisconsin's leaves have all fallen, but our part of the state is gorgeous. Reds, yellows, greens, darker reds...a feast for the eyes. One of the many wonderful reasons to live here.
Of course, as we all know it's also the sports season. Some have joked that there are really two seasons in WI--winter & football. I must admit I love to watch a good game on TV, but will from time to time turn the channel to see if something else is on; but when the team is winning I'm there. We have also been enjoying watching our grandkids games; either football or volleyball. It's much better watching a game in person. We haven't had the opportunity to see a professional game of any type yet, maybe next year.
And we also know that as this season changes, the colors will fade and winter will come. That's okay, too! Who am I to argue with the way things are in nature. Some smart person would tell me that the earth needs to rest for it's awakening next spring; fine with me. As some of you know we spend about three months in Florida during the winter so it doesn't seem to be too long when we get home, just in time for spring.
I guess the wonder of it all is that there is normalness to the seasonal changes. Many have said the weather has been strange, and yet the earth still turns, the sun shines, and the sky is blue. The trees lose their colorful leaves, the snows come and blanket the earth to protect it from the cold, then new life springs forth and we have summer. A flow, a constant, something we can rely on; now that's a true wonder!
