βKeep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.β

Happy 89th Birthday (today) to Pam’s Dad, known mostly as Pawpaw!
“A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.”
-Billy Graham
Dawns early light…
No rain but drops of dew are welcome. Asters are a favorite!
With our late summer and early fall so dry and unseasonably hot, we wonder what to expect as far as color from these maples!
Dogwood trees have almost completed another season…seems like it was only yesterday that this was a beautiful Spring bloom!
It is probably not hard to imagine that this girl has no trouble getting what she wants from her PJ and Da!
Sometimes being a “sitting duck” isn’t so bad!
Good advice says… don’t tug on superman’s cape… don’t pull the mask off the lone ranger… and don’t mess with my hamburger!
Bridge over the Coosa River…not troubled water but quite smooth on a clear Autumn morning!
Seriously enjoying autumn color up close and personal!
Sun…flowers !
βJesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and foreverβ.
Hebrews 13:8

Pieced Pastimes, Between Naps on the Porch, Katherines Corner, Follow The Yellow Brick Home,

As always, lovely words and photos!
Thank you Stacy. Have a blessed Sunday!
Beautiful pictures! <3
Happy birthday to Pamβs dad. Your pictures today are beautiful, dawnβs early light and Miss Ella Mae are my favorites. Have a blessed Sunday.
Blessings sweet Alice. I will share your well wishes with my Daddy!
Happy Birthday to Paw-Paw! Have so much fun pampering him today!
I so enjoy the verses along with the beautiful pictures.
The little Princess is too cute for words!
Happy Sunday!
Thank you Nancy and happy week to you back in Arizona!
My favorite way to start my Sunday Pam! Happy Birthday to Paw Paw, and have a wonderful week with your girls…love the flowers and the frog…not to mention the burger and onion rings! Yay for rain and cooler temps!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna. I am sharing all of the happy wishes with my Dad!
Just beautiful, dear Pam. A most happy birthday to your precious dad. I know you treasure every moment with him. Ella Mae becomes more adorable with every photo, she is so pretty. Love all your garden photos, especially the little frog on the mums. Frogs are supposed to be a sign of a healthy garden. And, I do love your hamburger and onion rings. Is there anything better? NO.
Enjoy a lovely day with your wonderful family and happy week ahead.β€
Thank you so much Sandra. Happy Wednesday!
Happy Birthday to your dad Pam! Thank you always for sharing.
Thank you Della, I am sharing the birthday greetings with him!
Happy birthday to sweet PawPaw! Give him a hug from us! Wishing him great health & many more years! Billy Graham’s wisdom rings true! Ella Mae is so cute; she’d get a yes from me most of the time too. π The burger & onion rings look delicious! Love the nature shots. We’re hoping to get rain today; hope you get rain soon too! God bless you all and have a wonderful celebration today! πClaraβ₯οΈ
Thank you Clara, I am sharing all of the birthday greetings with him. Have a wonderful day!
How lucky you and your dad are to be able to celebrate yet another year. That is a gift.
Wow, Ella Mae has suddenly gotten to be such a big girl! It’s been fun watching her grow.
I am so grateful for my sweet Daddy. Thank you Linda!
A most blessed Birthday and year to come for your Dad. I suspect he personifies Billy Graham’s
estimate of a most valuable asset and does not go unsung or unpraised. Blessed you are to have one another. I chuckled at your hamburger caption…. really getting down to the meat of
the matter. EM continues to spin her magic with those soulful expressions…how she delights.
A serene and enjoyable Sabbath to all…Thank you Pam and Butch for these lovely photos and
scripture gifts of the Lord.
Thank you dear Mary, you are a treasure!
Dear Pam.
Your post and your Bible verse meant more to me than you could imagine. Dealing with elderly parents right now, and I’m not always as gracious as I should be. Please never underestimate the power of your blog. You certainly inspired me today.
With many happy wishes for your dad.
Sharon
Sharon, you are so gracious and kind. Blessings as you care for elderly parents β€οΈ
My friend Pam, I love your father’s sweet look. He has been and is a handsome man, there is no doubt about that. Congratulations on such an important day in the life of a human being.
And we continue with the beautiful family: Ella Mae, she has a very beautiful and serene gesture, I love …
Nature is beautiful. It still has a summer tint that will gently change it to the beautiful shades of autumn.
All beautiful and serene … but … Ah! I forgot to say that I will never think about commenting on your burger … it’s too sensitive! hahahaha
Dolores
Happy Birthday to your Father,God bless him! Adorable pictures !Thanks for sharing,hugs!
Thank you sweet Maristella! β€οΈ
Happy Birthday to your Dad! Love the dawn’s early light photo. Every photo is beautiful. So glad you got a nice rain. We are still waiting and praying for some rain. It is cooler and such a blessing. Looking forward to the temps this week.
We will have our north Alabama granddaughter visit this week for her fall break.
Have a great week. When will your fall break be? Our grandchildren are on opposite weeks.
Thanks so much Bonnie, I am sharing the birthday comments with my Dad. He is loving them. Enjoy your sweet granddaughter this week!
Happy Birthday, Pawpaw! May God bless you with many more happy, healthy birthdays surrounded by the family that loves you so much! I loved seeing little Miss Ella Mae’s expression! She is just adorable, and I can just imagine how sweet she is. Children are such blessings from the Lord!
Thank you sweet Cheryl. We had a wonderful party for Pawpaw and he so enjoyed it!
Lovely post Pam! How precious to have 4 generations together! π
Blessings,
Jennifer
Thank you Jennifer. Truly Godβs goodness!
Happy Birthday to your Daddy! I hope you had a wonderful day, sweet friend!!!
We had a wonderful celebration! Thank you my friend!
Happy Birthday to Paw Paw! Hope his special day was wonderful!! Besides your Daddy and Ella Mae, my favorite photo was the little green frog. Godβs paintbrush is amazing, especially in the Fall.
We had a wonderful party celebrating Pawpaw yesterday. That is funny that you liked the frog photo, I was voting no for placing it the post, but Butch vetoed my vote. Enjoy your week dear friend!
Happy Belated Birthday to your Dad, Pam! We flew back into WV on Sat evening, and I was shocked at the lack of color over our hills. We hope we’ve brought fall back from the west with us. Temps have dropped and are forecast for the foreseeable future, and it’s raining. Glory be!
Thank you Rita. We have broken all kinds of records for high temps in October. Hopefully, it has finally changed.
You are so lucky to have your dad! Beautiful images as always — your Sunday posts are a fave! (I know — broken record. I’ve said that before. But they are!)
My Dad is a treasure and be are grateful that his mind is still so sharp! Thank you Jeanie.
Pam, want to make sure I say Happy Birthday to PawPaw. He looks so healthy and happy. The blooms are beautiful. I love the green visitor. As always, the beautiful Ella Mae is the star. Thank you for the lovely scripture and quotes.
Thank you so much Dianne, I will share with him.
