Today I’m thankful for fall and winter. When I lived in Texas, I was especially grateful for these seasons because of the (somewhat) lower temperatures. Now, I’m just loving the fall color and hoping for some snow. Yes, snow! I want a snow covered winter, despite the odds. It was 80 in November, already, so I’m not too hopeful.
I love when the sun sets and the bare trees are against the brilliant pink sky. My new drive home is through the forest and I get to see this almost every day right now. There’s something magical about the whole ecosystem going to sleep for a season. I wish we could go to sleep for a whole season.
I’m thankful for the cooler weather and I do enjoy the darker days for a bit. Dark days encourage me create my own light or give me an excuse to put up multiple xmas trees! I haven’t been through a Midwest winter in a decade or more, so we’ll see if I’m still grateful for the season come spring. What are you thankful for today?
