September was one birthday (as opposed to August's seven birthdays), and then there is a birthday break for close to six weeks. It may not seem like a long break, but when the breaks between summer birthdays are only a few days long, six weeks feels like a significant breather!
September was autumn coffees: pumpkin, maple, caramel. (Which would you choose?)
September was one last summer gathering - a homemade ice cream party with Ron's siblings and their spouses!

September was bunches of limelight hydrangeas, from the front door basket to crocks and pitchers all through the house. I actually like the autumn-blushed blooms as much as the bright summer ones.
September was noticing each subtle change . . . the slightly cooler evening air, slowly turning foliage, a few falling leaves. We gathered pumpkins and gourds, a few at a time.
September was a few days away to celebrate our 46 years of marriage.
September was coordinating many schedules to share an evening with our daughter Kristin's family. We ate supper and pumpkin cake and played games and, despite the subdued faces in the photo I took, we laughed like crazy while we played Cards Christians Like!

September was also the anniversary of my Daddy's passing. Mom, Linda, and I spent the day together. We reminisced and marveled that an entire year has passed. Mom gave each of us a gift: a small canvas of a long-ago photo of us with our Daddy. We visited Daddy's grave and we were so surprised as we drove up and saw that the headstone was in place! We were expecting it to be completed in October, and yet here it was on the anniversary of his death. A gift to us.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

I scrolled by Alaine's photo and thought for a second that it was Bekah! How very special to see the gathering of Ron's siblings. A sweet gift from the LORD for you to be able to see your dad's headstone as you gathered together on the anniversary of his passing from earth to heaven. Sweet gifts from your mom, too. I love how you intentionally use your home for continued relationship building! All the autumn touches in your home were fun to see. Happy Autumn season to you!!
ReplyDeleteOh, we like that card game also! We played it with our two teenage grandsons and it was certainly enlightening on their thinking and humor. Great conversation starters!
ReplyDeleteI also like that Fall bucket list with the great sayings. Thanks for sharing.
