This week has been super busy preparing for the new season, yes Autumn is officially here. This is my favorite season with beautiful colors that only God can create. Try as we may we cannot create such beauty with our man made attempts. But that does not keep us from trying with our "faux" flowers and perfectly shaped autumn colored leaves, gourds, pumpkins, and myriad of other "real" items we place all over our homes. Just yesterday I finished creating this lovely fall scape on our farm table. (Two items on the table are real!!)
KISS method applied here! Using a few random jars to display flowers, leaves, and scarecrow heads (yes just the head, sounds creepy I know but they are cute) was all this table needed to scream "Fall is here!" A couple more random photos of the outdoors...not finished with this canvas but here is what we have so far.
Fall is the time of year when all of nature sheds the old preparing for the sleep of the winter and the renewal of all things in Spring. We all need time to shed what has been bogging us down, slow down for rest, and prepare for the renewal of our minds and spirits. God never intended for us to shoulder all that we do, we sometimes have to let everything "fall" in order to let God bloom in us! Fall is one of the busiest times of year on the farm so we have learned that you have to be purposeful about going slow, it does not happen naturally. "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
Thanks for visiting the farm today. Come back often, we'll be waiting for you.
