Fall

you know it is fall when:

*when the leaves change colors....love that!
*there are enough leaves in the yard to fill about 20 big bags full
*it goes from summer weather to winter weather in one day
*i can go for a bike ride one day and be warm...the next day, freeze
*it snows too soon
*it gets dark too early and you think it is time for bed at 6:00 pm
*my birthday comes around
*mark and i get to speak at the singles ward (did it today)
*boys basketball tryouts come and there is anxiety in the air as to whether add made the team or not
*you give a sigh of relief and shout for joy when add does make the team
*fundraisers are coming at you from every direction from high schoolers (mostly from add)
*i get a hankering for soups and baked goods
*thanksgiving is here and delicious food is put on the table
*i have to finally put away my summer clothes....how sad!

i am grateful for the many things that i have been blessed with.....my health, good friends and neighbors, my family, and my testimony. Happy Fall!
