one day trip

so i heard through the grapevine that there was going to be a work day at my house in michigan on saturday... and so saturday morning i was able to come home and surprise my family and true vine equestrian center staff. a friend and i came down just for the day, helped put up some fence, and then went trail riding. it was such an unexpected, refreshing day of being among friends and fam. as well as being outdoors in God's beautiful creation.
we returned to moody saturday night where, after eating dinner, i promptly went to sleep (around 8pm) and was able to sleep for 12 hours!!!

I love walking down sidewalks in autumn. it seems almost like i have stepped into a different place.
city streets lined with yellows
reds
crisp, cool air
scarves
hats
sweaters
my visible breath as i walk to class
pumpkins for sale across the street
apple cider
hot chocolate
mini marshmallows...lots of mini marshmallows
roasting s'mores on dryer lawn (over a grill)

...trying to find time to think...to be still

completely in wonder at this God i serve
