Happy October dear friends. It is my favorite month and I delight in the beauty that October brings. As always, I am thrilled that you are joining me.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I was hopeful I could set a table in the garden for the October edition of Monday Morning Blooms. The weather cooperated during the morning hours with partly cloudy skies. With rain predicted for the afternoon, I decided to take advantage of the earlier light and cooler temperatures. We did receive a small amount of much needed rain later in the day!READ MORE

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Watching the sun rise on the Teton Range from a valley known as Jackson Hole in Wyoming is a very popular event. It was easy to understand why when Pam and I witnessed it last Wednesday morning. We had to get “up and going” early to be at a good viewing spot before sunrise. Of course the sun’s rays first illuminate that which is tallest and the orange glow on the granite peak of the Grand Teton signaled that the sun was indeed rising!READ MORE

“In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Because of low clouds along the horizon, the first sunrise of autumn made me wait past the rising time to get an actual glimpse of the sun. It’s all in the clouds. I waited about 30 minutes before I could get a little sunshine on my shoulders. Our forecast calls for seasonal days this week to usher in October!READ MORE
