Transition

The month of August seems to always bring changes.  It is a transition time.  Summer not quite over and fall not quite here.

Like the garden I tend to slow down and savor the final bits of this warm season.

The last of the day lilies are completing their show.

.

The peaches are sharing the end of their harvest.

Iron weed has began to decorate the hedgerow.

Even Shelby knows it is time to take a break and enjoy these precious passing moments of summer.











Hope each of you are enjoying them as well.

P.S.   At least here at Harmony Hills the yellow school buses are hitting the road this week.   May all the children be safe.

God Bless!

While Away...

Did a bit of painting...

Made some blackberry jam...

Gathered a few veggies...

Enjoyed a little reading.

Glad to be back dear friends - missed everyone.  Will be visiting each of you to find out what you have been doing while I was away.

Have a blessed week.  Debbie

Pause

I hope you will pause with me a moment.

Perhaps you will stop and enjoy the morning mist...

savor the first ripening raspberries ...

be delighted with a bright orange lily...

 a few pink poppies...

or this lovely purple clematis.

I am so grateful you decided to take a moment and pause with me.

Hope your week is filled with many joyful pauses.

Honoring the Memory

Today I am honoring the memory of my Dad.   He enjoyed westerns, cowboy hats - boots and country music.  I still miss him...I always will.

One of his favorite singers was Johnny Cash.   Hope you enjoy this song.

To all the Fathers, Husbands, Uncles, or Stand-in Dads - God Bless and Happy Father's Day.

Arrival of June

The arrival of June has brought a myriad of delights.

A butterfly's visit...

Sunshine and Shade...

Fragrant blooms ...

 and floral portraits that inspire

the heart of this artist.

Hoping all of you are enjoying June's arrival.

"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37.4 (NIV)

Have a great week.
