“And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.””
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:10-12‬ ‭

Pumpkin Carving + Chasing Monarchs

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Outdoors

Happy Tuesday! I thought we just welcomed October and now my favorite month is nearly gone. We are seeing a little color, but the beautiful autumn color normally arrives the first of November. I am anxiously awaiting those brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold!

“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139:23-24‬ ‭

Sweet readers, you have always been so kind as we have shared photos of our grandchildren. On a recent afternoon we planned a family time to carve pumpkins. Our son and I both took pictures with no plans to share except with each other. But, once I sat down and I looked through them, I thought you might enjoy seeing a few. Along with our family fun, I exceeded my aerobic activity goal running from place to place snapping photos of monarch butterflies as they returned to the garden. Enough talk, now let’s get on with the pumpkin carving and chasing monarchs!

WL is almost six months old. He has the exact color blue eyes as his daddy and he is an especially good baby. He smiles a lot but pumpkin carving didn’t seem to interest him.READ MORE
