first real frost
bundled. i'm ready for one of my favorite things: digging up the potatoes. they are late this year, along with the winter squash that i must bring in from the cold (now there's an oxymoron).
the first frost of the year fell today.
yesterday was the my college friend's wedding. i appreciated that it was a real wedding (as opposed to a glorified "prom for grown ups"--with, sadly, about as much commitment). yesterday, by contrast was authentic, the result of patient waiting. it froze my heart by it's beauty and then melted me as i was witness to yet another aspect of God's love. i love that they weren't afraid to use scripture and U2 lyrics in their ceremony: "love and fear and sex and all the things that keep us here, in the mysterious distance between a man and a woman..."
treasures from the heart, from the ground...all evidence of a faithful harvest.
