Enjoying

 We are enjoying some of the early gifts of August.  This Hollyhock chose to wait until now to bloom.  Her friends made their show much earlier and are setting seed.

 Mrs. Butterfly has been visiting the zinnias

and lilies.  She appears to be enjoying herself.

Those apples I shared last post, made it into sauce...

the blackberries into jelly.

Well these are just a few of August's gifts we are enjoying.

Hope you will tell me some of yours when you stop by.

Hugs

Victims of Hurricane Sandy

 My thoughts today are with the victims of Hurricane Sandy.  I know that many blogging friends as well as family are struggling in the aftermath of this huge storm.

We were blessed here with only rain and gusty winds.  Unfortunately for so many that was not the case.

 

The simple task of making applesauce... 

 

baking a batch of cornmeal muffins...

or gathering a handful of fallen leaves should not be taken for granted.  

Life can be so uncertain.   Even the small things we do daily are great gifts.  

I am certain that those who have lost loved ones, homes, and a way of life to Sandy would agree. 

 

I am looking up for all who were caught in the storm - hope you will join me.  God Bless!
