Contentment


 I find great contentment in the arrival of the autumn season.  It generally brings  

mornings that are cool and crisp - afternoons warm and sunny...  


clear blue skies...









small yellow moths that visit the meadows...









 

wild asters that grow along the fence rows and dot the countryside...










and a pleasant place to sit awhile soaking up God's beautiful gift called autumn!

Have a blessed week friends.

Hugs

Debbie

  6. It's so nice that you appreciate the Autumn season so much, Debbie. I love it as well. It's getting cold here in the mountains of northern California, and I have my heater on at times throughout the day. I love that last photo of the chair. It's delightful, and I can just see you sitting there in the afternoon sun reading a good book or just being still for a while. It's a good thing to do.

    Have a sweet October week, Debbie.

  7. I can feel your contentment with your life and your bible readings.
    Do you like to sit out in the sun? Do you put a shade over you? Just wondering.
