Autumn Comes To Texas

This morning the fog was thick, the pea soup variety. But soon it let loose of its gray grip and the light broke through to reveal the most glorious colors of fall. The Red Oaks and Burr Oaks seemed to explode with reds and oranges over night. It was difficult to pull myself from this palate of color and head back to the house to eat, but the call of a cup of hot tea with some leftover apple pie is a strong draw.
This apple pie breakfast was well thought out. I reasoned well that apples are a fruit and fruit makes a wonderful breakfast so why not have some for the first meal of the day. My sweet Melissa helped point out the value of the fruit aspect of this breakfast choice in our early morning chat.
Lots of folks out shopping today, but not me.... I prefer a nice uncomplicated day of rambling and wandering around the land, peppered with some early Christmas decorating and some spinning.
Quiet singing of the Psalms playing on the stereo. It's just about a perfect day. Would be better if Emery was home too.
This afternoon will be soap making day. It really feels like just another practically perfect day, full of simple pleasures that never grow old.
