Coming back from Israel where all the buildings are white stone and the nearby desert is white, the rocks are close to a white color and there aren't a whole lot of trees or water, it brought pleasure to my eyes to be greeted with a feast of colorful deciduous trees alongside the deep green evergreens in our neck of the woods. Add to that the placid waters of lakes and streams and you have the makings of a soul burst. Autumn does that to me... stirs something deep in my soul, thanking the Creator for the beauty He gave us to enjoy.
Fall is also a busy time around camp when all the cabins are empty and we hurry to accomplish renovation projects and other outdoor projects like repairing heavy equipment and vehicles. John is quite a jack-of-all-trades. It amazes me all he knows how to do. Though he doesn't especially like to repair equipment or vehicles, it saves a lot of money, so he dives in to see what he can do.
Joanna and John are also busy training the sled dogs using our two four wheelers. It's quite a sight to see a string of 18 dogs pulling Joanna on the fourwheeler. She says they are doing great and love to be out running again.
I always wish autumn could last a bit longer, both to enjoy the beauty and accomplish more projects around camp, but I guess we'd burn ourselves out eventually. We need winter to come along so we can take a LONG nap. :)
