Indian Summer

Happy Fall everyone!!!

I found this beautiful picture online.. it reminds me of Colorado during the time of Fall. I love it!

And with the picture I want to share also a poem... I like the way it describes Fall. I hope you enjoy it too!

Autumn

There's a crispness in the air that greets the morning sun, a feeling of anticipation, a new day has begun.
Harvest days are ending, winter is drawing near, yet in between is surely the most special time of year.
They call it Indian Summer, and it seems to fit the bill, for it's as if the Lord took a feathered brush and painted all the hills.

Now as I sit contented, atop of one of these, a book in hand to pass the time, the sound of a gentle breeze,
I can almost imagine an Indian child upon this mountaintop, looking down at the land of her forefathers, lost within her thoughts
For in every persons lifetime some heartache may occur, but on these hills in quiet solitude, God helps us to endure.

So I say that the eyes are a window, beauty is found within the soul, and upon the hills of Autumn, that are strewn with red and gold.

xoxo to you all,

Beautiful Colorado!

It's true. I've been silent again. Life is very different from usual these last weeks. I'm still alive, though... and still in Colorado! The beautiful picture below will prove it! Last Sunday we went hiking with our children and our friends up on a mountain to find this gorgeous lake...

 

 

 

 

 

Right now I'm getting ready to go to Brazil to participate to the World Youth Day 2013 with Pope Francis! The very first WYD I went to was actually in Denver in 1993 (I was still very young, living in Italy, having NO IDEA I would have found my husband in that same place 8 years later!).

 

I will probably write again after that and will share my experience... and lots of photos!!!! :)

 

xoxo,
