“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly”
Psalm 84:11
“To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!”
Psalms 123:1
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”
Isaiah 12:2
Yesterday I was looking at some of our travel photos and found this one from one of our favorite destinations, Santorini, Greece…
…and I don’t ever remember seeing this photo of me in front of a small church
in Koper, Slovenia!
When I see flowers, I take pictures!
An appetizer of heirloom tomatoes, grilled red onion, mozzarella, basil, and croutons is summertime on a plate at a favorite cafe…
…dining alfresco is so enjoyable especially in perfect weather. We considered it but a look at the radar convinced us otherwise. Lots of folks were dining outside when we arrived but were quickly driven indoors by rain and wind. However, I couldn’t help but notice these two ladies who refused to miss the outdoor experience. After several attempts by their gracious waiter to move them inside, I watched as he was just as attentive to them while carrying an umbrella. I was amused that it didn’t seem to bother them at all!
I think the tractor has seen better days!
It was a perfect day for sailing!
This is just about as simple and southern as it gets!
“I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
Psalm 122:1

El tractor me parece delicioso, yo diría que es un tractor hippy…jajaja y está feliz en su vejez.
Bellas imágenes y tus comentarios muy divertidos.

I smile as I write this comment.
The tractor looks delicious, I’d say it’s a hippy tractor … hahaha, and he’s happy in his old age.
Beautiful pictures and very funny comments.
May you have a happy and harmonious day.
Dolores
Dolores, el tractor está disfrutando de la vejez con seguridad. Espero que tu día haya sido maravilloso, amigo mío!
Dolores, the tractor is enjoying old age for sure. I hope your day has been wonderful, my friend!
You always make my Sunday beautiful Pam! I love the shot through iron gate in Greece and the old tractor especially! As for dining in the rain, that is hysterical! We certainly have had our share of showers lately 🙂
The older ladies were oblivious to the rain, Jenna!
It’s rare to see people enjoying rain so much. Maybe they have a new perspective after times of droubt. That would do it! The old tractor is a jewel. I hope you have a blessed Sunday, friend!
Kim, these were older ladies and they seemed to be oblivious to it! ???
Love the Sunday pictures! Relaxing & inspirational as usual!
I love taking flower pictures too!
??
Thanks sweet friend!
I always am blessed by your blog. May God continue to use you and yours for His glory….and that tractor made me think of my Papaw and Mom (grandma) who are now with Jesus. My beautiful grandmother would have loved the tiger lilies around it.
Aw, thanks so much for your sweet comments. Wishing you a beautiful week!
Love the pictures and verses !! Thank you !
Thanks so much, Cindy!
Last picture is awesome as well as your Greece photo. The second scroll back reminded me of the first pic that is gorgeous. I do love sunrises and sunsets and you do so well making food shots. Was the food shot from your cell? That looks delicious.
Always enjoy your Simple Southern Sunday’s.
Thanks so much, Bonnie. The food snot was from my cell. I will call you tomorrow!
Gorgeous photos, as usual. We are much alike — suckers for flower pix wherever we see them and dining al fresco. Summer joy!
Summer joy to you, Jeanie!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures, the stories and your faith. Dianne
Thank you Dianne for your sweet comments!
I love the picture of the two ladies eating in the rain! And that tractor is in it’s vintage prime! Love all your lovely photos.
Thanks so much, the ladies eating in the rain will be etched in my mind!
We have yet to make it to Greece so it remains on our bucket list. Should it rain I hope there is a table with an umbrella close by!
Linda, the Greek islands are breathtaking!
Beautiful pictures, Pam! Old tractor and Ladies editing in the rain are my favourites ☔
Thanks so much, Donna!
Beautiful photos – the sunset is absolutely gorgeous and my favorite.
Hope this finds you enjoying a lovely week.
Thanks so much, Sandra!
What a lovely collection of photos. And I think the flowers growing around that old tractor are like a memorial to its better days!
Lovely just lovely! I enjoy your blog so much.
Thanks for your visits, Suzie!
Love the covered bridge and tractor Pam! That appetizer looks so good! I want to try and recreate it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing with SYC.
