fall is in the air

i love fall. it's my favorite season and it has officially arrived in korea. we have finally found some relief from these sweltering summer days. i'm not sure why fall makes me so happy...maybe because i find it a homey and romantic season. pumpkin patches, apple pie, hoodies, cuddling up in a blanket at home, rosy cheeks from the brisk air, football games, thanksgiving, pot roast, ahhh...the list goes on and on.

the shift in seasons also reminds me of how things are always changing and evolving around us. it's a comfort to see the trees follow their natural cycles of being green, turning to orange, and becoming bare, only to start all over again. it's a time of refreshment to build us up, relieve us from the summer sun, but to encourage us as we enter the winter season. i'm very thankful for it.

the fall air is phenomenal. i drive with the windows down and soak in the glorious smells of leaves and mountain breezes. each breath revives me and lifts my spirit. i hope our fall season lasts a long time! : )
