Turn, Turn, Turn

We have one Maple tree that likes to get a head start on autumn. Every year, it turns blaze red well before all the others and makes for a really striking display against the all-green woods. The soybeans in the foreground know fall is here, too... they're turning golden yellow and are almost ready to harvest. This is my favorite time of year.



 1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
 2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
 3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
 4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
 5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
 6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
 7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
 8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
(Ecclesiastes 3, King James Version)
