Giving Thanks

 I am giving thanks for morning's light...

Woody Woodpecker's visit...

a sunny November vista...

 summer's fruit that gave us -

a Thanksgiving pie.

Last but not least I am giving thanks for family and all of you, my dear friends.

God Bless!

Debbie

Summertime

 Ah sweet summertime has arrived.  It gifts us with sunshine and shadows...heavenly skies and green fields...

 blackberries ripening on the vine...

early apples that make the best sauce...

wild daisies growing along the fence row...

time to read...

time to create.

Hope you will share what summertime is bringing you.

Have a blessed week sweet friends!

Hugs

Summer Moments

Here are a few summer moments.

A field freshly mowed. 

 Mrs. Hummer swooping in for a sweet drink.

Blackberries ripening in the midst of brambles.

 A moth gathering nourishment.

Sweet Anne's Lace dancing in the breeze.

Last but not least this pink day lily blooming during its brief visit.  

All of these summer moments make me grateful.

Hope each of you are finding a few wonderful moments as well.

Hugs

Thievery and other Happenings

Friends I am sad to say that in the midst of  the lovely month of July I discovered a thief.

For quite some time this peach tree has been losing its lovely fruit.
In the spring it was loaded with the bountiful promise of an abundant harvest.
In my dreams I was baking fresh peach pie...savoring golden sweet jam on my morning toast and having plenty to share with family members.

Alas it isn't happening.  Today on my usual walk  I spotted the cause of my disappearing fruit.

Right in broad daylight and not in the least upset getting caught - here he is!  I ask you do you think that face looks the least bit ashamed? 

So it is off to the berry patch I go.
Better hurry before that little rascal decides he wants some berries with his peaches.










By the way I am still doing some painting this summer.

Over at Doodlewash they are celebrating #WorldWatercolorMonth.  Am not participating every day but whenever I can will be posting a bit of art.   It is not too late for others to join.

Well until next time have a blessed week.

Hugs Debbie

P.S.  Watch out for those thieves.   They may appear cute but don't be deceived they will steal your best fruit!
