Today at approximately 2:19 pm Eastern standard time, “the earth from pole to pole received an equal distribution of light and dark, day and night. For one quiet moment on the days’ way to becoming shorter and the nights’ path to longer, they meet in the middle, gracefully passing through twelve hours each. (Thank you Emily P Freeman for those beautiful words about the Fall equinox - because you know I didn’t pen that eloquence)
Guys I had never really thought about that - that for one day we get equal parts light and equal parts dark. I am always very aware of the “change time” as the cutie cakes calls it because of course you know I am loving when the days get longer me being a summer loving girl and all. But that thought of the fall equinox and the equal distribution of light and dark was yet just another reminder of the Sovereignty of God, the order, the fine attention to detail - gosh I am just in awe even more. As one of the worship songs says “Great are YOU LORD!”
Well Fall has officially arrived regardless of those 80plus degree temperatures we are currently experiencing. And goodness next week our social media feeds will be filled with that famous Anne of Green Gables quote that says “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” - and you know what I am too very glad for this! My most favorite human on the planet was born during that very month. We will blink and a new year will be here….poof!
I snapped this pic this morning …do you know the will power it has taken me not to buy those pumpkin delights until now? No you probably don’t and that’s okay with me - I know it. And let’s not fool ourselves yes I know how ridiculously bad they likely are for me but I love those little things in part thanks to my Mimi. And I did wonder when I saw those first hit the shelves would they even be around here when Fall officially began - because let me tell you folks if you haven’t noticed the gingerbread business is out now too. But as part of my “savor the summer mantra” I purposely waited in purchasing said Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights until this weekend. So yes after my walk this morning I came home and powered up my espresso machine, pulled out my favorite somewhat fall mug, {“don’t you just love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address” (side note here - that movie is good for anytime of the year day or night as it belongs in the number one spot for me as far as movies are concerned - but on a technicality other people feel its a fall movie - but I digress)} I whipped up a white pumpkin mocha, and indulged in a pumpkin delight. All in all not a bad way to spend the 8 am hour on this Monday. Later this week I will go and pull out the fall decor from the attic and pray the weather will turn cooler. Seasons - what a gift.
