“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”

I love that quote... it holds so much truth! Last weekend we went (for the first time) to Ya-Ya Orchard in CO. It was all-things-me with mountains, a lake, a farm... I hope you loved it as much as I did.
In this photo, you are holding what we bought at the little barn-store... Apple butter, pumpkin butter and spicy pickles. I have loved spending time with you during every season/age of your life, but now that you are becoming a young adult our time together has a new and fresh feel. You are starting to relate to the adult world and see things from a more mature perspective.
The thing I really like about this quote at this season of our life is that it is one of the most beautiful autumn's I remember having in Wyoming, and I am perpetually existing in a state of reverence of the blessings we've been given over the last year... and especially the last few months. We were surprised with our awesome new home in Cheyenne (where all of the "wants" we wrote on our list when returning to WY are met!), we have found contentment in a new way, found a healthy balance in life I feel.
I don't know what this winter holds, but I know that this fall is bringing the warmth of the beautiful colors it's creating in nature into my soul and into our home.
I love you!
Mama
