Yesterday the calendar flipped to Fall. The equinox where the day is balanced between day and night. Summer and Winter. Over the weekend it was 90 degrees here in Indiana. Today I need a jacket. I love the mildness of fall. The thought that we could soon be snuggled up in front of a bonfire. The smoke and rich aroma of burning wood surrounding us.
There’s also something about the richness of the color of fall. The leaves are barely beginning to turn, but the flowers are on wild display.
There’s a nature area half a mile from our church that I love to walk through while our kids are at youth group. Last week while I was walking there I took the photos of these wildflowers. They are delicate and hardy. The colors are rich, and the pollen rich. While I love the blooms of spring with their heady scents and vibrant colors that remind us that eventually the cold and snow will leave, I love the delicate explosion of goldenrod. The pops of purple from the wild asters. I love watching the dance of the bumble bees and butterflies across these flowers.
And I love the peace that comes as I walk along the path and let myself absorb their beauty. Do you like fall? What’s your favorite part of it?
Book Fun
As I’ve mentioned before I’m in two novella collections that release in October. Time is running out to purchase Christmas in Mistletoe Square before the price rises to $4.99 October 1st. I’ve done something fun and created a sampler with the first three chapters of each of the four novellas in the collection. I really think you’ll love each, but this is your opportunity to try them first. Click on the image or here to go to the page to download your sampler.
Christmas is in the air in Kedgewick Creek, North Carolina, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Will romance find four couples in the month of December or will the pressure to keep the festivities Mistletoe Square is known for keep these couples apart? Find out in this collection of four novellas from inspirational authors Pepper Basham, Cara Putman, Janine Rosche, and Teresa Tysinger.
The authors in the other collection I’m in liked the idea, so I’ve created one for that 15 novella collection as well. You can find the link for the Dangerous Pursuits Sampler here.
The chill of fall brings with it a hint of peril in Dangerous Pursuits, a clean and Christian suspense anthology featuring some of today’s most popular female authors. Start your fall off right with 15 gripping tales of Clean and Christian suspense from today’s most popular ladies of mystery and suspense. Just .99 cents until October 12th.

Beautiful pictures!
I love the Fall colors. I do not like what Goldenrod does to my allergies, though. LOL!
Thank you for the pretty flowers and scenery!
