Dear Friends of Care of Creation Inc,

Summer has passed. The street outside my house is quiet during the day now as children spend their time in school. Out back the population at the bird feeder is starting to change as the early birds begin their long flight south, and others replace them who spent their summers much farther north arrive to spend a week or two with us before continuing their own long journeys. A few minutes ago I found myself nose to nose – well, nose to beak, I suppose – with a beautiful hummingbird exploring the dahlias outside my living room window – also stopping off briefly before heading south to escape the winter. And even as the days get colder, the farmer’s market is full of such an amazing variety of things to eat – I could easily believe that there are more different kinds of vegetables popping out of the ground than there are kinds of candy bars in the local candy store! God is good – and more than generous to us frail mortal beings!
