Still waiting for the Fall!

It seems to me that I have never had to wait so long for the first Fall breeze to come and refresh my soul.  There has been a hint of it in the air, but nothing like I remember back in my old hometown, no fall smell in the air or a gust of cool wind that causes the little ones to run outside like puppies and squeal with joy.

I am waiting.
We are keeping busy as we wait with baseball and softball and friends and school and the joy that it all brings if I just slow down and breathe and remind myself that every minute is a gift.

I am looking forward to the time when my family can all gather at the table again, and eat and laugh and enjoy the comfortableness of each other.
