A Beautiful Autumn Day

The sunshine is steaming through the trees casting a cool shadow along the shady drive. I can hear the chirping of the bluebird calling to his mate. I am sitting here soaking in the sun’s warmth and thanking God for this beautiful Autumn day. I can smell the freshly mown grass and I can see the butterflies perching momentarily on the golden yellow daises. The sweet flowers are budding and the spectacular Autumn leaves are changing colours. The plants are drenched in the blonde sunshine full of vitamin D. I can see the children laughing and running down the drive enjoying a beautiful Autumn day.
