How could it possibly be fall and 85 degrees outside? Why was I throwing out all of these beautiful flowers that I had spent so much time and money on? That is a hard thing for me to wrap my mind around. But, I knew the flowers needed to be pulled out, the dirt turned over and the fall wreath needed to be hung on the front door. So, we jumped into fall, all in one day. Now that this yard project is finished, I can start to pull the "weeds" in my mind. I will reorganize re-organize our home, I will make new goals, and I will try different differ-ent ideas for our family meals. Fall is a time to cook warm meals.
