I'm so happy, I'm crying.
Literally. (Nothing like those pregnancy hormones to make you a little emotional.)
October has been dark for me, both literally and physically. But yesterday, I turned the page on a new month. November feels like a ray of sunshine on my soul. Not only is this the month of my favorite holiday, but our weather forecast is suddenly all bright skies and normal temps (which would be highs around 50 for us, but after weeks of 40-degree rain, I'll take it).
To celebrate, I'm going to share a few fall photos. I took them last week, on our one sunny morning. And I'm telling you -- when the sun comes out and illuminates the jewel leaves God has scattered around the Upper Midwest this time of year, the only thing you can do is worship.
This is the playground at the kids' school. Doesn't it just scream autumn with all those fallen leaves?
It was such a beautiful, if frosty, morning, Teyla and I took a walk at a nearby arboretum after we dropped the kids at school.
The sumac bushes are so bright red, they are almost pink. I love this color.
Overnight frost had iced everything.
My little companion; Teyla keeps me company every day. (I should probably do an update on the kids soon, huh? I know our friends in Africa are salivating for some news.)
Some maple trees near our home. (It was really hard to get this shot. Windy days make macro shots difficult, you know?)
Just looking back at those pictures makes me happy. (And yes, I might be crying again. Good grief.) God is good. Even in the darkness, He shines.
Bring on the sun.
