Clouds

Clouds are so very lovely.  But being in the mountains and seeing how they cover the very tops of them it makes me happy to be in their presence,  The color contrast is, oh, so wonderful.  I wish sometimes that I were an artist with the skill to capture these clouds on canvas.

Thanks be to God!!!

A Day With the Deer

She was there for most of the day.  She seemed perfectly comfortable just knowing we were interested in her.  Every year there are deer at Ron's sister's house.  But this year we were able to spend more time just sharing the space with us.

And then sunset came and she decided it was time to to move on.  She took just a moment to turn and bid us a good evening.  It was grand!

Thanks be to God!

The Nation's Bread Basket

Give fools their gold and knaves their power; let fortune's bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree is more than all.

~~John Greenleaf Whittier

~~~~~~~

Traveling through our nation's bread basket I again am in awe of the beauty of the land.  It also causes me to pause and reflect on the hard work it takes to feed this nation.  I forget all the work and toil it takes to produce the food I so easily shop for every week.  And so at this time I'd like to thank all those who work to bring food to my table.  The farmer, the rancher, the migrant worker, the truck driver, the grocer, and the one who stock the shelves.  I also want to apologize for taking you all for granted.

~~~^j^~~~

Most of all I want to say,

Thanks be to God!

Sunlit Sunday and Mosaic Monday

I'd rather have roses on my table, 
than diamond around may neck.
Emma Goldman

Indeed, I would rather, too!  And when the sun shines on the blossoms the glory of God shines even brighter!

Summer Memories!

Temperature's risin'

Summer's around the corner

Oh! Humidity!

Memories were made in this house during my childhood.  Dove by to see it last summer.  Since others live there now thought it inappropriate to show it as it is.  Instead see how Printshop2 could do to make it even more enticing.

Had a wonderful weekend and know the week ahead is going to be even better!  Not only that but I realized today that last week I had another anniversary.  I've been blogging now for 4years!  What a grand time I've had!  Thank you all!
