(Sorry none of my pictures this time.)
Ahh! Another month! And time has quickly gone from the Hot summer days of the midwest, to cool foggy mornings with the sun rising putting the Autumn leaves all in a glow.
I love those long days where you take a long drive through the back roads of no where with nothing but open fields in front of you and hills filled with layers of trees flowing in oranges, yellow, reds and purples.
With Strawberry in the back softly cooing to herself, (she was probably cooing to her new skill of grasping her tiny little hands. Too cute!) this moment could not have been more perfect. I was driving with my windows partly down, so I could hear the soft sounds of nature along with my daughter who was amusing herself. The moment began so beautifully and even got better like a orchstra hitting the climax of a some heart throbbing and breathtaking song. (The moments to follow would be VERY breath taking.) Suddenly a soft curtain of leaves cascaded before me in a vail of a gorgeous glow of purple and yellow and bright red leaves. I was in aw at the perfect moment. The leaves blew around the car as it hummed lowly as I slowed down to take in the view of God's hand in nature. The car was passing under a pretty tree that helped in the beautiful flow of leavesIt would have been more perfect if Strawberry or my hubby was next to me to enjoy it. A perfect moment in fall! ....ANd just like that odd tuba that blew at the wrong time and was very out a place came the big puff of bright leaves! It came too fast! Like someone has released the heavy curtain from a stage, a curtain of red leaves suddenly fell across my window shield covering my entire view. I come to a screeching halt with a totally naked tree behind me that I had once been driving under admiring its beauty. Out of breath and heart throbbing, I swear that stupid tree had it all planned! And to add to the moment, when the car came to a halt Strawberry let out a squealing giggle, like she had some part of this grand plan to scary mommy! One of these days I am going to find out about some conspiracy against me.
Anywhoalls, just wanted to share my little adventure on back country roads. Never trust nature I had to post at least one of my pictures of my baby girl. :)
