“It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV

Capturing the wonder of a sunrise does not require facing east. October’s final day was splendid, with clear skies and a 39 degree start. It was still early morning as I walked through the garden, but the sun had climbed above the tree line and illuminated the coral bark maple. There is a window of opportunity where the light and sky presents itself in the perfect combination, not seen the rest of the day. Possibly a lesson in that! READ MORE

““Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I had to get out early and take in another September morning as October was just ahead. I stood at the pasture’s edge and was once again, for the millionth time, overwhelmed by the Creator and His creation. No two days are ever exactly the same. Never have they been, and never will they be. As I walked away later, I thought of that Neil Diamond song, “September Morn”. I always liked that song. He sang “September Morn, we danced until the night became a brand new day”. Now we didn’t dance that long, so I was able to be up at first light as September was coming to a close!READ MORE

“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”

We love sunflowers and this is a favorite photo from last July. Our sunflowers will be blooming soon, and I am excited to see their bright yellow faces! Since RM’s retirement, he has had so many projects on his to-do list. He has done the bulk of the work in the garden, I just mainly weed and give suggestions!READ MORE
