Every year around this time I get this funny, exciting feeling. It usually comes on when I wake one day in fall, sometimes in September and sometimes in October. It happened this afternoon when I woke up to get ready for work. It is an expectant feeling, almost like when one wakes up on Christmas morning, expecting all of the fun of spending time with family. Even when I have so much in front of me and expected of me, like work tonight or my two tests and paper coming up at the end of this month, the excitement is always there underneath the surface.
I love fall and winter. I love the crispness of the air (although that has not as yet occured in our neck of the woods - still hot and hummid, but I can feel fall beginning to appear). I love the colors. I love the overall feeling. Too much excited!
I am also excited this year about decorating my house for Christmas. I have decided upon blue icicle lights to line my house. I think thats all for now because we don't have a lot of money for decorations. I can't wait for the day after thanksgiving when I can decorate, decorate and my house can look and feel as excited as I do!
Matto does not feel my excitement. He says church musicians have too much work around Christmas to get excited about it. I pray this year that he can share in the expectant excitement that I feel!

How ridiculous is this? I am so excited about fall that I have to comment on my own blog! I just realized that this is my first picture on this blog. The reason is that Matto has the camera at his office. As soon as I get it I will add more pics!
