AUTUMN COLORS



Autumn brings many mental pictures to mind: beautiful many colored mums, bright red leaves on bushes, goards of all shapes and sizes (don't you just love the warty ones?), pumpkins, corn stalks, fields of red milo. I could go on and on, but this last week we saw a beautiful new one and today we tried to get a picture of it and if it turns out I'll try to get James or David to put it on this blog. There are a lot of fruitless pear trees here in Smith Center and they usually have pretty leaves in the fall, but there are two on Main Street side by side that are really very spectacular this year. They have blotches of color: red, bright gold, dark gold, orange, plum red, and brown with just a few sprinkles of green left and very few of them have fallen off as yet. They are absolutely beautiful! I don't see how anyone can look at the beautiful world around us in all seasons and not believe in loving creative God. Thank you Lord the grandure that surrounds us if we but look for it and not for the ugly.
