I (Caleb) was looking back over some of our old posts in our adoption journey...and found the below blog and just felt that it was time to re-post it due to my unusual love of fall! I noticed it was posted exactly a year ago...hmm, coincidence...I think not. Now I get to instill my addiction to fall to my daughter...I basically reposted the exact blog with a few edits :-)
What is it about fall that is so incredible? I woke up this morning feeling the crisp fall air...which we don't usually get enough of in Tulsa...and something in me just explodes when fall comes. It is different than any other time of year...is it my New England blood? Does it remind me of basketball season in high school? Thanksgiving? Family? or maybe just one huge reminder of God's faithfulness in every season of life. But still something about fall is so giant and personal all at the same time. And maybe this year it means more with the pending season change as we wait for Sakari (and now she's home!!!!!!!!!!)...seriously though, I think maybe on the 7th day God created fall...
Knowing from last night's weather that today would be amazing, I got ready quickly to enjoy as much of the weather as possible...also in order was a drive (with windows down, of course) to Starbucks for my new favorite drink - Triple Grande Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Dolce Latte. I love the smells, flavors and feelings of fall.
My metaphors for fall:
Fall is like Mayan Hot Chocolate
Fall is the climate of Heaven
Fall is like a blanket of comfort
Fall is like Mom's corn chowder
Fall is like Becca's pumpkin roll
Fall is so perfect, fresh and crisp that if you put it in a bottle I would choose that smell over any expensive cologne on the market
Fall is like Indian food
Fall is the essence of New England
Fall is eating at Murray's for breakfast in Walpole, NH
Fall is like every great emotion exploding inside me
Fall is like spiced cider, maple syrup and pumpkin spice lattes
Fall is gratefulness
Fall is my daughter smiling at me...giving me a squeeze (hug) and kisses
How could you not LOVE fall???!!!
