What a beautiful fall day! If there only was some way to catch it and deposit the day into a "Day" account, then withdraw it when the cold dreary weather of winter sets in.

This fall has been almost exceptional in that the weather has been mild and the nights are cool to mild. We have had no real cold yet and although there has been some frost around the area, we have had no killing frost here. So the flowers are mostly still blooming nicely, save for a few. If the frost would come, then we could work at winterizing the flower gardens.

Today to our delight, along with two of our grandchildren, we visited a local state-owned woods that has a nice walkway made from recycled plastic. The walkway is several inches above the ground which makes it a nice path even if the ground is wet. On occasion, we will see deer through the trees but no such luck today.

When we returned to our vehicle there had been a four car accident right at the entrance to the woods/parking lot. We happened to have parked at just the right spot and we were able to leave, even though there were a number of rescue vehicles along with the state patrol at the scene. There did not appear to be any serious injuries, mostly bent fender, tires and bumpers.

After living and seeing the beauty of the day and worshiping with other believers, we need to stop and count God's blessings more often.
