“I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.”‭‭
Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV

I ventured over the hill and near the river on Thursday and enjoyed this September sunrise. Our days late this week have been mostly in the low 90’s (96 yesterday!), but the current dry air really cools faster than humid nights, bringing pleasant mornings…like this one at 61 degrees. We invested $4.95 in an outdoor thermometer several years ago, so no doubt these numbers are correct!READ MORE

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”
Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬ ‭ESV‬

I wanted to surprise Pam by bringing home the first pumpkins of the season. I had not seen any for sale until last week. It is a judgement call…if I buy early while the selection is great, will they last into November? Or do I wait until later in hopes that there are still plenty to choose from? Such a difficult life, planning for fall! I do have a tendency, as you can see here, to come home with 3 of everything, possibly with some nearby little folks in mind !READ MORE
