Spectacular

This is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year here in the North East! The leaves have turned to fiery shades of red and orange and mellow shades of gold, yellow and brown. Contrast those with the brilliant blue skies and the picture is perfect.

Unfortunately, the leaves don't remain on the trees, so we have lots of work to get ready for the long, cold winter months ahead. I absolutely love the 4 seasons that we experience so clearly here in NE. Each one makes me appreciate the next season even more!

Autumn mornings may start out a bit nippy, after an overnight frost, but the warm sun is welcomed. As Winter approaches the temperatures start to drop, the days grow shorter, and our focus gradually shifts to working on indoor projects.

Now that our 'Operation Buddy' has ended with Doug's safe return home from Afghanistan, we're preparing to begin packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. As always, our home team enjoys time for food, fun and fellowship but we chose to take a night off from our study to do this missions work.

We strive to remain In Line With The Word,
Sally and friends
