Where did summer go?

It is hard to believe that we are mid-way in September already. Where did August go? It's not that I am overly busy. It's just that the days are seeming to slip past faster! The weather has been beautiful. I guess that is why it seems like we are still in August with the temps being in the mid 20's. Slowly the trees are turning colour, almost without noticing. However, yesterday, it was windy and warm all day and I noticed the many leaves on the ground ...yikes...they were orange and yellow ...not green! Guess I should pay more attention to what's going on around me.

My hubby is at the farm and enjoying himself. I wish I was there as well as this time of the year is so beautiful. There's a busyness to life on the farm during harvest. Winter will come and the blanket of white will cover everything and things will be serene. But right now... it is a beehive of activity. The clearing out of the garden, the cleaning and canning, the silaging and combining. There is so much happening.

There is lots of activity here as well. We are getting a new step on our deck and the guy is coming tonite to confirm what to do. We took out the flower boxes on either side of it and removed all the dirt to other locations. Now it looks pretty ugly. We are thinking of putting a full, wide step there instead. Maybe just place flower pots ON the step instead of having flower boxes. We'll see.

I have a sign on our front lawn. "Question Everything" which is the motto of the Alpha program we are doing at our church (and all over Alberta) this fall. There are billboards, advertisements and signs posted over all of Alberta. Hundreds of churches are participating. Any questions about God, who He is, what's it all about, why Christianity? You name it, and we will talk about it this Fall. Check it out at a church near you or go to QuestionEverythingAB.com. They are even doing them at coffee shops, at the office and in homes. Should be an interesting Fall.
