Fall is coming so that means the blocks are too.

The blocks are making their way back into my routine...so now am I not only making time for this half marathon I am making a little more time for my blocks.

While I am getting this done. I decided to record my feelings about them and what or who the bring to mind (especially since Jane decided to give, most of them have names of people).

D-3 Jason's Jacks
When I saw that this was my next block, immediately, I reflected back on an old friend, whom I no longer get to talk to anymore and most likely never will, but the memories are fond. He joined the military right out of high school, hence the camiflaugedjack. I think he was into the medical part of it. If you turn it 45 degrees it sorta looks like a cross. The medical symbol. Ironically, he worked for the Red Cross. So I guess that is fitting, so I dedicate this block to Jason Murillo. I hope he and his family are well and enjoying much success.

D-1 Alison's Guiding Light
I have a friend who has a daugther who is living with CF. She just recently was released from the hospital and Liz, her mother, is such a guiding force. No her daughter's name is not Alison, but close. No they are not African, but I thought it represented so much strength and life. Only two of many quailties that Liz and her family have.

M-13 Lynette's Diamond
I have cousin in Chicago named Lynette. Growing up, I do remember as children we were not the nicest to her. She was always so kind. I have not heard from that side of my family in many, many years, let alone Lynette. All I can think about now, is what kind of diamond is she. I pray that she is well. Lynette just so happens to be my sister's middle name. This color orange is for her. It is LOUD, just like her.

C-6 Ashley's Aura
I really don't have a story for Ashley's Aura.  Of all my friends, I don't think I know an Ashley...I know, I am doing to here from someone named Ashley.  Sorry. :-(

I love Fall, it is probably my most favorite time of the year.  Cool crisp air, picking peaches off my tree, canning, hot cider, leaves changing colors in the canyons, looking out my kitchen window and seeing the color change on the moutains.  AHHHH, I love Utah in the Fall.  Just doesn't last long enough.
