Turn


Everyday we are given a choice to turn.  It may mean a change of direction, a new plan or a different attitude.

With our winter weather having been such a challenge these last two weeks discouragement had been clouding my mood.






Walking on a cold morning was not something that appealed but two furry friends would not be denied.  They wanted outdoors.


As we made our way around the field and turned towards home I found myself captivated by the most spectacular scene.  It made me come back to the house and grab the camera.







The sun was rising above the tree tops and casting lovely blue shadows along the woods.







It continued to rise and shine so bright.  In that moment my spirit took an upward turn.   Such beauty was meant to be enjoyed.  Even though winter is not a favorite season of mine there are still beautiful blessings to be found.   One just needs to look around and make a small turn.  

Speaking of  turn - how many of you remember the song "Turn! Turn! Turn!" written by Pete Seeger and recorded by the Byrds?  It was based on the 3rd chapter of Ecclesiastes.


Thought I would share this song with you to close.   Have a wonderful week and don't forget to take a moment to " turn".   Hugs Debbie

 


"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."  Eccl. 3:1-8 (NIV)

Stillness


 In the stillness I hear Him whisper,








"I am near...








do not fear...








I love you and I care."


Hope you hear Him in the stillness too.

Have a blessed week.

Hugs!

A Beautiful October Day

It was a beautiful October day.   The skies were pure blue - no clouds were found.














 Lovely colors were all around.

















A gentle autumn breeze rustled through the dry standing corn.










Warm sunshine cast long shadows on the hillside.













   

A harvest of veggies provided an abundant feast.













Yes it was a beautiful October day.



So glad you stopped by.   We hope you will be back soon!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon.

There was time to wander and check out what was blooming along the fence rows.

Multi -flower rose is at its peak giving off its beautiful fragrance.








Purple clover mixes and entwines with the blackberry bushes.   By the looks of things there will be plenty of berries this summer.  I am certain there will be a pie or two!










These tiny white flowers remind me of Baby's breath.  They make a lovely low growing ground cover.











Lazy Sunday afternoons make a perfect time to take a stroll on the wild side.












I think these two thought so.


Hope you did too.   Have a blessed week.

Hugs Debbie

Listening


I've been listening to the last notes of summer.   The crescendo is past...just a short measure remains.

     Here are a few final chords.
Squash on the vine

Dried corn waiting for the harvest...













A Moth visiting  wildflowers 


 Goldenrod swaying in the breeze...


    and a couple of friends taking a moment to listen too!













Hope you are hearing summer's last strains.   God Bless!
