The sun is setting earlier these days. A month ago we saw dusk arrive at 9:00 and then a few weeks ago it was 8:30 and now it is 8:00.
Our summer has been exceptionally hot and dry. Rainfall has been scarce.
We are now seeing many trees and fields in distress.
The leaves are already changing color due to the drought.
Been spending quite a bit of time "looking up". Praying for some showers to come soon.
From visiting some of you...know that this dry spell has been your experience as well. Hope you get rain too!
God Bless and have a good first week of September.
Hugs
Debbie
"Again he (Elijah) prayed and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." James 5:19 (NIV)
I love the power of prayer in those verse about Elijah praying for rain.
ReplyDeleteI love ❤️ the Scripture verse. Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you all with rain soon, Debbie! I so enjoyed seeing your amazing photographs here, too. I love watching the sun's varied dance in rising and setting as the seasons change.
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, I sure do hope you get some rain with the fall weather that is coming. Your area is still gorgeous! Praying!
ReplyDeleteWe've had rain but it doesn't seem like as much as we've had other years
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie 🥰
ReplyDeletePattern of nature is incomprehensible sometimes. Here we are getting abundance of rain and towns and villages have been flooded,crops destroyed and people homeless 😞
I hope your area gets some showers asap ameen🙏
Our sunset time has changed as well , it was 7 pm in June and now it’s 6:40pm almost.
Thanks for beautiful pictures 🥰
Wishing you health,peace and happiness and to yours🥰🙏
The earth here is parched too. I wish you rain!
ReplyDeleteAround here, we have also had a dry and hot summer, and a lot of land has been scorched by the fires.
ReplyDeleteA hug.
These are lovely pictures around your neck of the woods, Debbie. I always enjoy seeing them. We usually get rain in the Fall, and I do hope we get some this year too. That is a nice verse you shared about the rain. Wishing your September days are wonderful.

Lovely sunset and beautiful views! Yes same here: too dry. We had some rain but not enough. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes we're dry here too, but I think you may be worse off. We've been watering the gardens when we dare to. Hope you are well my friend!
ReplyDeleteDry here, too. Love the scripture. Hoping for rain for you and us. Beautiful photos as always.
ReplyDeleteHope you get the rain you need. It's been a dryish summer here, too. On the positive side, we are expecting an early cold front with slightly cooler and drier air this weekend (yippee)!
ReplyDeleteI don't like that the sun is setting earlier. I liked the longer days. We did have a little bit of much needed rain, but not much to make a dent in the drought. I hope you have a great week and weekend.
