Sharing a few bits of Joy today. This is a view from our hillside. I never grow tired of seeing the sky.
Madam Monarch enjoying a colorful lunch. It is always a challenge to catch up with her when she starts searching for the perfect delicacy.
The Rose of Sharon overseeing the veggie patch. Bless her - she is faithful when the other flowering shrubs have withered in summer's drought.
Last but not least...a rainbow. It serves to remind me that God's promises never fail.
Hope you enjoyed these bits of joy today. Have a wonderful week.
God Bless
Debbie

Isn't that Monarch butterfly pretty? I see yellow and white ones around here all the time, but they flutter about so quickly, and don't sit still for long. The rainbow is beautiful, Debbie. It's always a gift when we see a rainbow. Thanks for sharing some of your joy with us. And the verse is a very special one. Enjoy the last of these August days. My favorite season is coming, Autumn. I'm looking forward to seeing Autumn around your area. : )
