We're baking fudgy brownies and sugar cookies and checking our list and packing our bags....goody goody gumdrops, goblins, a campin' we will go!
It is one of those incredible Fall afternoons.....the trees are all dressed up in their fancy ball gowns, gently swaying to some minuet I can barely make out....sunlight ignites a Maple as we turn the corner and I want to drink in every last drop of that Autumnal COLOR.
My Daddy used to tell me a story about the angel whose job it was to color in all of the flora and fauna after it was breathed into being by the Creator. Can't you just imagine, he'd say, the unlimited palette, you can choose every wild combination in the Universe and then the Naming Angel gets to call it something....
We talked about butterflies and wildebeests and copperhead snakes and all the fishies in the sea....
It was the JOB I wanted when I grew up...
Be there at the moment of creation and color it beautiful.
OH.
Guess I got my wish.
What's Your Dream Job??
