The "warmth" of Fall

Fall is in full swing; the colors are breathtakingly beautiful, leaves abound covering Earth Mother and a chill is in the air. It is heart warming to smell and feel the richness of this time of year as the farmers harvest the fruits of their labor and prepare the land for winter's rest. So too, my heart prepares for the cold weather and quiet serenity of winter's arrival and I am offered the opportunity to harvest the richness of family gatherings that warms my heart. Fall offers a reminder that much like the various colors, shapes and size of leaves, that when bound together create a masterpiece of beauty, our diverse families and friends offer the same work of art. Ahh, how Fall warms my heart . . . I simply adore it!
