“The hay is harvested, the autumn grasses begin to grow, and the herbs of the mountains are gathered."

Proverbs 27:25


Autumn floods our senses with sights and sounds and tastes and smells and textures unique to the season. What glorious beauty God poured into this time of year! I feel blessed to live where we experience all four seasons to the fullest. Every October here in Pennsylvania we are privileged to share the many facets of Autumn:

The colors:

  • Goldenrod Yellow
  • Acorn Brown
  • Marigold Orange
  • Maple-leaf Scarlet
  • Sky Blue

The fragrances:

  • Tangy wood smoke
  • Musky fallen leaves
  • Fresh baked pies
  • Ripe apples
  • Spicy Nutmeg and Cinnamon

  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Zucchini Bread
  • Apple Cider
  • Oatmeal Cookies

The sounds:

  • Leaves crunching
  •  “Touchdown” shouting
  • Crickets chirping
  • Campfires crackling
  • Rain blowing

The feel:

  • Soft flannel
  • Chilly nights
  • Warm blankets
  • Nubby sweaters
  • Scratchy hay bales

What senses does Autumn tickle for you? What do you love most about it?

“Valleys are covered with a carpet of autumn-harvest grain;
the land shouts and sings in joyous celebration.”

Psalm 65:13

Blessings!
