THANK YOU, PEGGY

You can't eat this pumpkin, but it has become one of my favorite fall decorations.
Peggy 2 brought it to me several years ago, and I always look forward to putting it out.
Unexpected gifts, "just because" are such fun!

YUM YUM

"Vegetables are an important part of any healthy diet.
May I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread and pumpkin pie!"
Jim Davis quotes
Isn't fall eating grand?

CAN YOU COME OUT AND PLAY?

When the work was all done and we went back into the house; kitty was feeling a bit left out.

FENCE SITTING

While we were working in the garden Saturday, kitty decided to get a "ring-side" view in order to watch all the "goings-on".







She kept
getting
closer and
closer..



Until she
finally got
really
involved
in the
trimming
of the
honeysuckle.

FALL CLEANUP

Brad and Brandy came up this weekend, and we worked and worked to get the garden "winterized"
Tools of
the trade...





A few
finishing
touches.






It feels so good to have things all ready for winter.
Thanks Brad and Brandy.
Will probably plant a few bulbs, and then the job will be complete.

FAITH

"The eternal life, the life of faith, is simply the life of the higher vision.
Faith is an attitude--a mirror set at the right angle."
From The Changed Life. Henry Drummond

SHADOWS

I really enjoy the shadows that appear on my walls at various times of the day during the changing seasons.

















"How the love of God melts down the unlovely heart in man, and begets in him the new creature, who is patient, and humble, and gentle, and unselfish.
And there is no other way to get it.
There is no mystery about it.
We love others because He first loved us."
Henry Drummond

"Therefore if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new has come."

TOUCHES OF FALL II

TOUCHES OF FALL

FIRM WAYS

Proverbs 4: 20-27
"My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.
Make level paths for your feet, and take only ways that are firm.
Do not swerve to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.

SOUNDNESS OF JUDGMENT

Proverbs 3: 21-24
"My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;
they will be life for you,
an ornament to grace your neck.
Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble;
when you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet."
