As Autumn creeps in and the days grow cooler and darker, we chase the light. We hike on trails and blow seed pods, we throw pumpkins as if they are balls, we chase chickens around the yard and marvel at the dancing yellow leaves. Life is miraculous when seen through the eyes of a One Year Old! The shades of red on apples just washed and ready for cooking catch our eyes. The velvety sweetness of pears ready to become a tart and the sweet smile of this 14 month old, (now 15 month old) capture the magic. Soon our first little lady will turn eight and we feel as if we've blinked. The days simmer, so slow and so fast, all at once. We bring out the beeswax candles, make more elderberry and play Christmas music. We chase the light.
