So one of my favorite things about hanging out with so many kiddos is hearing what they say. Earlier this fall one of the three year old girls I watch was so disappointed that on the official first day of fall all the leaves in her front yard were not instantly colorful she nearly cried. On a car ride we took that day we looked for tree with leaves that "knew it was fall". I was not nearly as eager for fall.
Some other kids that I drive from their house to another house spend the whole drive picking out the best fall trees. It is good for me to hear their excitement at God's creation. It is good for me to see through their eyes. I am far less amazed than I should be.
Another of my friends had this to say about the Fall
"These days are so bright and beautiful. We have to go outside and burn them into our imaginations so we can remember them come February".
