While we can still miss fall in the Ozarks, we have had a most spectacular fall here in Sammamish. The view from our apartment was heavenly as we watched the bright reds and yellows cover the landscape. At the end of October, we moved out of our apartment and began living in our RV. We found ourselves right in the midst of the gorgeous colors in a campground just 8 miles from the church. Our first full day here it was dry and sunny - and we enjoyed a walk kicking the leaves and being part of the "leaf-fall" (as opposed to rainfall or
snowfall) as an occasional brisk wind brought them to the ground. It was absolutely spectacular. We loved it..enjoyed the beauty of all the colors, the smell of fall in the air with its crispness, the crunch of the leaves under our feet. And we were absolutely amazed at the size of some of the platter-sized leaves that were falling around us. Now the rains have come...day after day..and finally we are enjoying a day of sunshine today--but we find that most of the leaves have fallen and the colors are diminishing. How fortunate we were to be right here in this place at exactly the right time to enjoy a fall that rates right up there equal to the Ozarks!

We will spend the next month in the area - sometimes at a campground and sometimes parked on the church parking lot. We plan to spend Thanksgiving evening in Sequim with my cousins, Carl & Sue - what a blessing they have been to us during our year in Sammamish. I have eleven first cousins, and this is the first time I have ever been able to spend time with one of them, really getting to know them, and becoming friends--such a treat!
I hope your fall has been a blessing to you, and you have been able to enjoy some of God's glorious colors.
