Practicing the Art

Because Thanksgiving arrives this month in America, I am practicing the art of being thankful. As always there are many blessings to count and it is nice to take time and focus on a few during November. I know our friends and neighbors in Canada celebrate this holiday as well. They just are a wee bit earlier...October. To all my blogging buddies there - hope you had a lovely celebration.

So without further ado I will share some special gifts I found yesterday.

Sheets blowing in the autumn breeze...

Chrysanthemums still holding on...

Preparing next year's garden patch with the companionship of a sweet helper.

a favorite view from our driveway...

our special boy Gunnar - hard to believe we have had him for over a year.

Lastly a lovely moon.

Hope you enjoyed your visit. I am always so thankful for each and everyone of you.

Have a lovely start to November.

Whispers

September whispers farewell this week. The month seemed to fly by on the wings of a bird.

The hummers said goodbye the second week. I left the feeders up for travelers farther north who might need a bit of sustenance on their way south.

We finally received some much needed rain last week. Three wonderful inches. My mums were very happy!

The sunsets have been breathtaking. Hubby and I have enjoyed them so. It is lovely to watch the sun go down and hear the crickets song as a day comes to a close.

I am certainly going to be a bit sad to see September go.

How about you?

Have a blessed coming week. Hope to see you in October.

Setting Earlier

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

Lovely March Day

It was such a lovely March Day to be outdoors. Who can resist sunshine and blue skies?

Spotted this blue squill blooming amidst last year's garden debris. It made me smile. Such a tiny flower but in no time the entire garden will be bursting with little spring bulbs.

Speaking of gardening - these seed packets called to me from their rack at our local store. Yes, it is a bit soon to start planting outdoors. Not so, though for getting a head start inside. I will find a sunny window and plant a few seeds. Hope that will help the wait :)!!

Thought this rosy sky made a great end to a lovely March day.

Have a blessed week!

...a lovely day

It is a lovely day when one gets to see

the sun set at the same time

the moon begins to rise.

Hope everyone had a lovely day. Have a great week.

Lovely Day

It was a lovely day. In spite of the cold wind these pussy willows bravely reached upward...

the moon peeked out in the afternoon

and the bright sunshine cast our shadows.

Hope everyone enjoyed a lovely day. Have a blessed Holy Week!

"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matt. 26: 26-28 (NIV)

Super Moon

December certainly brought a lovely gift... a super moon. Hubby and I enjoyed an evening walk beneath this beautiful light. What a great way to start the Christmas season. May all of you enjoy it too! Have a "Super" week.

..the moon

"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?...

O Lord, our Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth!"

Psalm 8: 3-4; 9 (NIV)

May everyone have a blessed week.

Sounds of August

July's sketch page

Yes the sounds of August are here. The locust and Katydid have arrived.

They greeted me as July started its last hurrah!

Even the Blue Moon got its welcome from them.

Garden Phlox,

colorful zinnias,

and golden sunflowers seem happy to hear their song.

I know I am. How about you?

Have a blessed week!

"It's a Wonderful Life"

It is that time of the year when hubby and I visit Bedford Falls and check in on George and Mary.

It just would not be the Christmas season without viewing "It's a Wonderful Life."

This moon reminded me of the scene where George tells Mary he will lasso the moon for her.
There are many precious moments in the movie. This particular one is a favorite of mine.

Naturally what makes this 1946 motion picture so appealing is that in the end good triumphs over evil. Of course my eyes are not dry when everyone comes to rescue George from his trouble. There is such a great feeling in knowing that love of family, friends and neighbors does make one the richest person in town.

If for some reason someone reading this post has never seen this movie I hope you will put in on your list of must sees! For certain you will not be disappointed.
