The seasons are changing. This year I was not ready to let go of summer, the lack of schedules, the slower times, the four of us being together. Here we are at the end of September and, I am still not grounded that Fall is here and here to stay. This year, I feel as though I am falling into Fall, head first, unsure, and surprised. Okay - maybe there could be some kicking and defiance involved! Despite my feelings, the beautiful trees with their colourful leaves, the drop in temperature, and the early setting sun remind me that we are heading into a different season. A season full of renewal...I hope!
School has started and despite some bumps in the road, we are there and moving along. It can be a struggle to enjoy the change, the inevitable change and find the beauty in the new and the promise of something unexpected. Today's pictures capture that excitement of the unexpected. My darlings soccer team advancing to the finals (very unexpected) and the sudden realization in the girls eyes that they were winning. They played like a team, and worked together towards one goal. It gave me hope. We also spent time at the local Fall Fair, where unexpectedly my oldest darling showed a cow (her first time!) and she was thrilled. I think the ribbon and small prize money helped with the excitement - she came home asking for her own calf! Given her birthday is coming, this could take some negotiation.
I will be trying in the days to come to embrace the changes, enjoy the new and breathe deeply. A process.....
