Autumn Nears

With yesterday's 90º+ day, it might not seem like fall is arriving, but signs are pointing that it truly is on the horizon. People have different signs that tip them off to the changing of season - maybe it's Labor Day passing, the beginning of School, the start of the NFL season or possibly its your calendar showing the fall equinox on September 23rd. Not for me. For me, it's when the first update appears on the Foliage Network! Yesterday was that day. Been a bit of a dry summer here in Boston, so hopefully we'll get some rain here in September and have some great foliage here for our first New England fall.

Yesterday Katie and I headed into downton Boston so we could visit the Farmer's Market at Haymarket. There were a ton of vendors setup and really great prices. We'd heard that indeed there would be cheap prices, but that you had to be ready to eat the fruit and vegetables within a couple days or it goes bad. Most of what we got (including possibly the world's largest avocado) actually looked pretty good though, we'll see how it looks in the next couple days!

I close with a quote from a book I just finished titled "When Sinners Say 'I Do' " by Dave Harvey:

"But sinners who say "I do" have a different road to travel (that is the road of unmet needs focused on me, me and more me). It is the road of astonishing, undeserved grace - a grace so remarkable that is shows us the problem and then delivers the solution. Have you ever been on a scenic drive so beautiful that it was hard to keep your head from spinning from one vista to the next? The road of undeserved grace is like that. It is distractingly beautiful, because all of our true needs are met in breathtaking array in Christ."
