I don’t know why I thought I would miss Fall this year. It just seems that every year goes by and I turn to see the changing leaves and somehow I have missed them. This year I have found myself in awe of the beautiful colors.

On the drive to school or just running errands, I have had an opportunity to revel in the splendor of the golden leaves dancing along side the reds and bright oranges. It helps that I now live in a very rural area and when I wake up in the morning all I can see are trees, hills and a pasture usually blanketed with playful sheep.

Between the Autumn leaves and pale blue sky, I have enjoyed the canvas before me and on days when I sometimes feel completely worn it has made me take a deep breath and smile. I feel lucky to see it this year.
