Dearest Friends I had the most wonderful month! And the leaves are finally changing color. I adore the Rainy Windy days that pass by. I am enjoying some Vanilla Tea with a Fruit Bar. I am so thankful for the Lord's work in my life, I had went to a Medieval Festival The day before yesterday, and I found my attitude most Disagreeable. I was not thankful at all! and I grumped about instead of enjoying such a special time. I am very sad of my behavior, but I have tried very hard to do better. I hope you all are as happy as can be and are loving the Autumn as much as I am.

Today is a day of thankfulness and joy! I am starting to smell the Autumn air wisp through the world more and more, and I have a new habit of walking back to my woods. It will be even more beautiful when it is dressed in crimsons and reds! I have had Vanilla Soy Milk and Pumpkin Scones for Breakfast and I am very thankful for that. I cannot wait until I can get my hands on a good pare of Cinnamon rolls, that I have yet to try this coming Fall. In short everything is going wonderfully and I couldn't be more thankful for my life and family, and all the gifts the Lord has given me.

I am starting my day with a Peanut Butter Larabar, Cold Vanilla Soy Milk and some Cinnamon Chai Tea. Whilst I am listening to Mindy Gledhill's new Album Pocketful Of Poetry! I do so hope you are having a pleasing day. I shall tell you what I am up to. As you know the longing for Autumn is a big part of what I am up to, But never the less I am studying for College, Studying God's word, Hopefully succeeding in the "Try my hardest to be humble rumble" I had spoken of. But I have been doing pretty well in all those subject I suppose. Well save one, which is my abnormal hunger to Read! I cannot shake it! (Which I am proud of ;) )
The only problem with that is....I do not have a book to read. I have ordered The Inkheart Trilogy online, I have read then once before and adored them, so I thought I ought to own some of my own. So what I am saying is I have to wait until there wonderful arrival! Oh No! it's horrific! And you may be thinking "Why doesn't she just pick a book up and read it, if she loves books then she is sure to have a substantial book about some where??" Maybe you don't speak that way, But that's how I imagine it. And my answer to that is simple and obvious. I have this horrible habit of opening every book that strike me as AWESOME and reading it before I finish the twenty other books I opened because they were AWESOME mind you, it's not because I am uninterested in the lot of them! I just want to read all of them at the same time. which (at least for me) is not possible, stories start blending, plots are all zany and before you know it POOF your reading about how Meggie Folchart just won the Hunger games, but has to hurry up and get the ring to Mordor before the red Queen finds her......And that is why I must read one book at a time.

Waking up to the sunrise, and remembering it is indeed your Birthday is very exciting! My darling sister has out done herself this year, as I awoke I found a lovely Autumn rapped package on my floor next to my bed. Along with a letter expressing the happy wishes, inside was a gift card for Barnes & Nobles, A Pumpkin Pie Bar and Autumn sticky notes! I am so very thankful on this glorious day! I do not deserve the kindness my sister gives me, or my family. I am all but happy tears. When I made my way upstairs I was mistaken in thinking the magic was over. I found Three darling wrapped presents on a table cloth of Autumn Red, a bowl of Apples and Little Red and Orange bows and leaves hanging from the ceiling. As I came near the front of the table, I smelled the hints of Peppermint, and Chocolate. I found a mug of Hot coca sitting on the table along with a mason jar full of dark chocolate sticks sprinkled with cocoa powder. And if that wasn't enough, My sister than presented me with my Birthday cake that was decorated in an Autumn Fashion, it is a Golden Butter loaf cake with cream cheese frosting, Now don't fall over yet, you need to hear this. When asked how long my sister stayed up she answered " Well, until three...In the morning" In Which I than started Crying (I don't know why...) and then she went on to say "Well, I had to get things done, and finish your wrapping" This was the most wonderful Birthday I have ever had, and I am truly thankful to the Lord that he let me have it at all. I am very fortunate to have a family that cares so much for me! and knows that I simply Adore Autumn!

I am starting my day with a Cinnamon accented breakfast, along with a tune from Mindy Gledhill. My Pancakes are half raw. But the cooked parts taste great! My Grandmother and Grandfather are coming for a visit today, and we are going to have a flat bread with tomato to celebrate a jolly time. I have finished my devotion and I am at ease after it reminds me of God's unending Knowledge. I adore the Fog in the morning, only because it reminds me that Autumn is surely near. I thought I might share my excitement for Thanksgiving. My sister and I are greatly fond of this holiday. The best things are the changing of colors in nature, The reminder to thank God for everything you have ever felt the least amount of affection for, and his never ending love and devotion to his people who neither deserve his love nor his forgiveness. That particular holiday is very comforting to me. Oh! and I shall make Maple Syrup Cookies for the occasion along with Pumpkin Pasties. The recipes are on my CrimsonLeaf Health Blog

This was a day of lounging, constant thankfulness is what surrounded my thoughts this most blessed of days. I enjoyed... Can you guess what? Apple Cinnamon Pancakes! I just cannot help myself! But in other news, I had a fine day indeed. My Father brought back some crackers from the market, so my cheese wouldn't get lonely on the plate all by it's onesy. I am very thankful for my Food this day. This day also gave me plenty of thinking time, I admired how God is such a silent and amazing companion to speak with. I hope your day is a fine as a fiddle. I have Knitted some today which gave me much pleasure, I am almost finished. I must ask if any of you are as excited as I, for the showing of THE HOBBIT in December? I am very excited! I enjoy Tolkien very much, and I have read The Hobbit twice. My favorite is Bilbo, He reminds me of my sister and I, the same nervous habits, and want of comfort. Oh and constant appetite for the most Hobbit-like foods there are (that are by the way the worst for you) what can I say, I'm a Hobbit at heart.

As I gaze out my foggy windows this dreary morn, I notice it's supreme beauty! How little I appreciate the wonders and seasons of God! (Save Autumn) As Autumn is my most adorned season. I must learn to grant the Lord the compliments he deserves. In other news, I have been a little forlorn as of late. I am still reading The word, I talk to my Lord often, I study my devotions. Perhaps I am a little Uninspired I feel silly and so High and Mighty saying that. Example: "Well, Well Well, What A Wonderful Day!" Walks around the house in a mundane fashion. "This is NOT such a wonderful day!" Claps Hands Twice and says. "Someone entertain me! Do it now." So you see, how is being alive "Uninspiring" I usually over think many things. And I know it might be silly but I feel that way every now and then. Today I am going to try my very hardest to focus on God, focus on being Humble, Remember to be kind beyond your wildest dreams, uncomfortably smiley and positive, Helpful, Wise, Well learned, Don't say something unless you ask yourself these questions: Is it helpful? Is it intelligent? Will it inspire? will it suggest a different view point? Is it positive? Is it needed? Most of the time I do say these things in my head, It truly does help. To be perfectly honest I like to talk as little as possible. Oral speech...Not my forte. I think that is why I enjoy writing so very much! My days usually involves very little verbal actions, my thoughts are racing all the time, I answer other peoples intended questions to there persons. In my head of course. Sometimes I like what I say, sometimes I do not. But good thing it was in my head then eh?

My days grow happier and happier, I am now determined to think the best of everything and know that God is in charge as he always was. It is dark this wonderful morning as I awake to Fresh Cinnamon Apple Pancakes, with pure maple syrup. I am thankful I get to even enjoy such an array of fine foods, that I am sure I do not deserve. I do so wonder, Often of the path my life will take, it is rather exciting I do say!
it could go any place at any time. I am very thankful for the present, the past and the future. It is still so very not Autumn, I await it's arrival with marked interest! Although the summer is as pretty as ever, I must confess I do not share a particular friendship with the warmth as so many other people do, as an added fittle I cannot stand to take three whole months off of my schooling, it simply won't do! well my dear friends, I am as happy as could be right now, and I hope your are too, may God grant you peace, all the days of your life.

At the moment I am Enjoying a Simple Pancake I whipped up this darling morning. I thought I might experiment with something a bit healthier, than the regular nitty natties. It was quite delectable! I used Brown Sugar, Buckwheat Flour, Egg, Baking Powder, Apple Butter, a Dash of salt, a little clove, a hint of nutmeg, and a whopping lot of Cinnamon! I hope all of your present endeavors are turning out finely. As for me, I have Occupied myself with a new state of mind. The Yestermorn brought some discomfort, Though I do not know why, I was a bit dingy all day. Forgetting the lord...Not thinking of others before me...I just could not focus. I wasn't thankful for my Food. The list goes on. And I know we all make mistakes, we all have little problems big problems, The Lot! But my charming little day that I have been given this morning will not be wasted. I am quite determined to give God full attention, along with my self in being Humble, Loving, Forgiving, and Calm. Not to worry, to let the Lord take care, Make sure to be Oh so thankful for my Food that I am given, and to make God Proud. I do hope your day, Dear reader is of the finest!

I awoke with a simple thankfulness, that seemed to surround my morning with God's glory. I have enjoyed some wheat loaf with pumpkin butter and I am trying to be okay with the fact that Autumn isn't here yet. Every year my family and I go on a trip to the Apple Farm. We dine at their Restaurant where they give you endless dishes and desserts all of which are apple themed. I usually get a buttermilk biscuit with apple butter, Hot chocolate or warm Apple Cider, and for dessert I indulge in a beautifully made apple dumpling. I am very thankful we get to go there every year, In fact it is my favorite thing we do all of Autumn. After eating everything on the table, my family and I head to the barn where there are horses, goats, pigs, kittens, ponies, sheep, and Owls. We then visit the Apple Farm Shoppe, it has all sorts of sweets and treats, Honey lollipops Fudge muffins, Apples, Fresh Apple Cider, Autumn Decor, Caramels, Colored Licorice, and the best Christmas selection out there. It's located up stairs. They have hundreds of unique and simply classic Christmas Tree Ornaments, along with beautiful Seasonal Decorations for Autumn and Winter! I just adore the whole visit, It truly is the best part of the year for me, and I am very Thankful to God that I get to spend it with my family.

The difference between feeling thankful and feeling good is a very small shift. Today I was tested with what I think about. I lost site of what I should be Thankful for. Instead I was focusing on what would make me happy, what would make me feel good. But I discovered that if you feel Thankful, and are truly thankful that God has put you where you are and is doing his will, than you will be the happiest person in the world whatever happens you are thankful and happy, aware of what you are doing and even more blessed by feeling this way. I can not express the feeling I get when I switch my wants and needs over to God's wants and needs. For example: I wanted to stay home today, but my mother wanted me and my sister to take the children on a picnic, Now should I satisfy my self with comfort and pleasure forgetting how much work my mother could get done if we took the kids, Or should I focus on what would truly help her, and make God proud that I chose the right one, the one that helped even though it may have made me a bit stressed. My mother is stressed every day of her life taking care of us, why shan't I give her a day of peace and pleasure? So you see, I was no Angel today, I still got caught up in my own wants, but after realizing it, All that matters is that you have fixed it. what's done is done. God is the only one you can come to, to truly be comforted and reminded that you are not the only one that matters

My eyes took in a beautiful site this misty morning. I can now have less of a troubled soul pretending it is Autumn this very day because of the wonderful fog that God has blessed me with. It is now only the 22d of August and my days are growing brighter and brighter as summer comes to a close. I have just had my Lunch and I am very thankful for it's bountiful goodness! I had also just read a chapter in Tolkien's word, it was a wonderful read indeed. I have not told you what I am to become on All Hallows Eve, I shall be acting as the WHITE WITCH JADIS from The Chronicles of Narnia, I hope all is well, and you Fair wonderfully good day my friends.

Delicious is the word I have in my head as I nibble a couple crackers with cheese. My day has started just as blessed as the others. I have attained a brighter mind as the weeks have passed and I am quite thankful for the family I have. the opportunity and the honor of living such a small and lovely life. This glorious morning I awoke with a smile, it always helps to smile when you get up. My sister and I had Breakfast by candle light and enjoyed a setting of Pumpkin Buttered Bread, and fresh apples. I have been very thankful for food as of late, I know I have very good stock in my family and I know that there are many less fortunate people and it makes me sad, I don't think I deserve any of this beauty, and the people in the world that are the happiest and are in hard positions are the most thankful and inspiring! The wonders of God do not cease to amaze me. I am very happy as of late. I have never been this happy in a long time now that I think of it. And do you know why that is? I have been praying more, reading the word more, and talking to God more. It makes your life better, it really just does. Did I mention that I am impatient for Autumns arrival, it best not be tardy this year.

There was a chill this morning as I awoke, My Pumpkin Candle was crisp as ever as I lit the wicks. My room slowly grew warmer with scents of Autumn Spices. I was very Thankful this morning after I read my Celtic Devotions, Don't worry I am not a Celt. Though I wish I was, well maybe without the nakedness, blue bodied, Horror part. Anywho I read a bit of word, resumed my Yoga and Thanked God all the more. Though pursuing my reading of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring as of late, I was a bit Fickle today and could not bring myself to read a chapter, Alas the day is still young I may find a moment where reading isn't so unappetizing. Although I do enjoy reading very much, Anything to do with Princesses will most likely catch my eye, I do so wonder if Autumn will be ripe with color this year, I dearly want it to be. Today My sister and I will go to the Amish Shoppe and purchase some Pumpkin Butter, Apple Butter, Wheat Loaf, and Apples, I shall enjoy that greatly. My last words I suppose are quoted from a very famous writer "“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

I welcomed this morn with thanks to God and a bit of Yoga, chaperoned by an Autumn Candle,
Pumpkin Spice to be exact. With a song that I find quite festive for the season, and is very good Autumn Yoga Music, Clear Air by Kevin Macleod. Whilst the smells of Pumpkin Spices surrounded my room with delight, I came by a very interesting passage in My Devotions, It was about a young girl named Bridgit who looked at the world through God's eyes. She explained how if you think of your life being encompassed by an enormous picture frame, God as the painter and you as the creation. Than you can live with a bit more comfort. Anywho I found the thought of that really quite comforting, God is in Complete control and there is nothing you or I can do about it, Which I adore. I feel safer and more secure when I know it's that simple, I may not understand God's reasons, ways, words, or actions, but I know he is in control of it whether we like it or not. I also find that I don't need to understand half of everything he's done, I believe that it happens and then it's done. I don't think we were meant to live lives filled with sadness, I imagine a divine afterlife filled with nothing but God's unfailing love, and that is all I need believe, for I am utterly at ease.

Today is a day where nothing but the things that are important matter, It is what everyday
should surely be like. And I adore it. I started this sunny day with a positive and humble mind.
My sister and I visited the Coffee Shoppe and enjoyed some Brunch. After leaving we headed
home to the wooden floors and house full of Dwarves that we are now so accustomed to.
The hustle and bustle of the life we live is comforting in a way, well when you've grown up
with noises, yelling, busy schedules, running back and forth and showing up late, you grow to love it.
However I do have my Hobbit-like personality to feed, What it needs you may ask? Every now and then
I need to pay respects to it's very strict hobbies and wishes. It starts with having some sort of Tea
at least every night, followed by an absurd hunger for a good long read. A Bath is always asked for.
And not far behind that is a long fuzzy robe and a good nights rest. Which I have been lacking as of late, but that's beside the point. I mean, The Hobbit's point. But you see even if I do have a double personality
I certainly don't show it. I let it come on gradually. I don't want to scare anyone by bluntly saying
"I have a Hobbit living inside me" Not a wonderful way to make acquaintances, I simply let my
Hobbit-like hobbies and thoughts melt out slowly and smoothly, they'll have enough
trouble getting past the fact that I think having a cuppa is better than having a night out, or
That reading a book one hundred times over does not mean your mental, just that you like the
story. You've guessed it. The people I live around aren't very Hobbit-like at all, in fact They are a bit Nutty.

The Autumn season is having it's laugh as I suffer it's absence. I cannot pretend that
it's coming wouldn't give me complete and utter happiness that I am at the present lacking.
The corn is as green as ever, the winds fair, but I can smell Autumn in the air none the less.
I have been trying to humble myself by staying out of everyone's way. The only problem is the
Schooling, I am fairing well, but sometimes it's harder than ever. I know Autumn will give me even more
reason to praise God's wonders, it always reminds me of his passion in creating the earth, more than
any other season. As you know, I have been trying to become more thankful in the blessings I receive.
I am completing a sort of mission or schedule where I check off the actions, thoughts, and reasons of others
doings, compared to mine. There are a great many others much better than I, but all I can do is strive for the perfection that we small silly creatures lack, but even more so long for.

I can only say that everyday that passes, I long more and more for Autumn.
It's winds and smells bring me to tears. God's glory has no end, nor does my constant
affinity for the crimson season. I am trying to stay humble throughout the last months of Summer.
I want to be completely accustomed to having an attitude of pleasure and praise.
