“You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it. You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭65‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I’m glad you found the energy to climb a couple of hundred feet to join me. I was surprised to see that the grounds were reasonably green.  It had been 11 or 12 days since our last rain. We did get a good soaking on Friday however; but no wind damage. Straight line winds and flooding have been a problem this past week for many here in Alabama!READ MORE

Pumpkin Carving & Cave Exploring

~ Alabama, Autumn, Fall, grandchildren, NE Alabama

Happy Thursday sweet friends. Last week was a fun one…pumpkin carving and cave exploring with our sweet grandchildren!! Our “little ones” are helping us to stay young. Just keeping up with them requires running shoes!

“But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭

Last year was our first time to carve Jack-o’-lanterns with the grandchildren. We allowed them to help as much as possible. I have to make sure my Renaissance Man is especially careful. He sliced his thumb carving a pumpkin for our nephew over 35 years ago that required a trip to the ER and stitches. That was the last one he attempted until October 2021. I wonder what renewed his interest?READ MORE
