It means fewer campfires, which was a highlight of our summer this year. Hardly a mosquito in sight... family and friends... sausages, hotdogs, apples and marshmallows. Mmmm... doesn't get much better.
It means the pool is closed for the season. :(
It also means that Marten is busy at digging. An exciting time for sure... but it also means long hours, lonely evenings for me, and no goodnight hugs for the kids unless we take that special trip to the farm to see Daddy. This year, is an extra trying time for Marten as he fell and broke his kneecap on September 24th. It kept him home for almost a week but you can't keep a good man down. He was back at the farm in a cushy job in no time. We'll take a return visit to the hospital on Oct. 19th to see if it's healing nicely.
Don't get me wrong... even with all this business, it sure is nice to reflect on God's beauty and be thankful for what we have. I'm grateful for God's healing hand, for great kids, for church programs in the fall, for the great feast we'll have on Thanksgiving day, for friends who share their garden goods with us (I made lots of pickles and beets), and for my family near and far.
We had a wonderful time on Oct. 1-4th with the special visit of Omke Marten, Rinze and Klarina. Lots of family together time... lots of food... and great memories were made. 
God's blessings to you as you celebrate this beautiful season!
