" Heralding the transition to winter with a vibrant palette, the red heartbeat of fall allows us to remember, reflect and  honor all that has blessed us through this year. In the solemn quiet of winter Creator will allow us to heal and prepare for the promised spring." -- Ken W. Hall

I spoke with Ken this morning.  He said the smoke is clearing a little due to a couple of recent rain showers.  The leaves are beginning to change color and fall is definitely in the air.  Temperatures contintue to be in the forties in the mornings and seventies during the day. I am grateful the smoke is clearing.

Here in Arkansas it is hot and humid.  Humidity is something I have not experienced in a long time.  It is supposed to get up into the nineties today.

I am grateful for the time with my family.  Mother will celebrate her eighty sixth birthday this Saturday.

Fall Leaves

Fall is here and the leaves are turning gracing us with a beautiful color pallet only nature can provide.  The Ken Hall photo above captures a small sampling of that color.

Yesterday the wind blew strong all day releasing the leaves and creating carpets of color all over town.  The warm temperatures were uncharacteristic of this time of year.

It was so warm last night we slept with all the windows open and woke to sixty degree temps outside.  It was calm for a few minutes then the wind began to blow.

The heavy cloud cover gives a feeling of humidity and moisture.  Temperatures are expected to drop and we are told by the weatherman this is the last of our warm above average temperatures.
