autumn love

 

The very last zinnias, cut right before our first hard frost.

The most gigantic batch of the most amazing chocolate chip cookies ever. They have an entire 7-ounce Hershey bar grated into them. Delicious.

The glorious morning light.

Spicy-smelling Yankee candles. These make me crave Thanksgiving and Christmas like crazy.

Beauty itself. God could have stuck us all on a flat concrete slab, but He didn’t. He gave us colors, scents, textures, and sounds. He gave us rolling fields of wheat, snowcapped mountains, wooded canyons, blue skies, mist and clouds, crashing rivers, and abundant wildlife. If it’s like this here on earth, can you imagine what Heaven will be like?!
