“The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭50‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A few clouds gathered and we managed about one eighth inch of rain later in the day on Friday. We were thankful for the small amount, some places received more. It’s simply September and that is how it normally goes. October is often our driest month but we think October days are the best! We probably all have a favorite, but regardless, they all pass too quickly! September is already almost 2 weeks old!READ MORE

Hello friends. I hope you are still enjoying a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Do you plan to rest today or is it work as usual? I will be doing my best to talk RM into a day of rest. I will let you know how that goes.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25‬:‭11‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

“I urge the leaves to retain their composure; don’t give in to outside influences. I encourage the blossoms to continue their display; keep the vibrant colors regardless of shorter days. I challenge the fields to grow and stay green; resist the forces that imply it is time to quit. This is my calling and my message to these and others year after year. But they never listen. I don’t think they ever will. I am September!”

“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A September Morn with a little fog to start the day. Neil Diamond might declare in his song about a September Morning that they “danced until the night became a brand new day”, but I assure you we haven’t done that lately. Maybe now that September has arrived, we might plan to do that, but I’ve not mentioned it to Pam just yet! We had triple digit temps last week so nighttime is a little cooler!READ MORE
