It’s beginning to look a lot like Chr…, no not yet…Autumn!

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:8‬ ‭

It’s beginning to happen…leaves are finding a new home. And Ella Mae would love these because many are pink! Fitting since we see a lot of pink displayed in October. These are down a few weeks earlier than most around our neck of the woods!

Yellow seas are showing up everywhere. It seems to be the dominant color in the countryside right now.READ MORE

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52:7‬ ‭

Last week Pam and I were a few miles apart, as she was home in Alabama, and I was camped out in Montana. On SSSunday, we typically share a variety of things we have both encountered around home while going about our everyday living. Today we have chosen to deviate a little, keeping it simple, but not quite as “southern”! It was a blessing to have an opportunity to spend some days with our son Seth, and a few friends, in the great outdoors!

As the sun is coming up behind us, we are traveling on wet ground at around 5000 feet but snow fell during the night at slightly higher elevations. In fact it is still snowing on the peaks in front of us. We did hit these ridges later in the morning but abundant sunshine had taken care of the snow before we trekked that far.

Speaking of camping…Seth and I lived here for 6 nights. The wood stove kept us cozy at night. A wall tent is a bit more roomy than a pup tent! READ MORE

Happy First Sunday Of Autumn!

“May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭29:11

Days and nights are equal now as the sun makes it’s way a little further south each day! There is something about the angle of light this time of the year that adds a special beauty to early mornings and late evenings.

Turkeytown Creek (yes that is the real name) was peaceful enough last week to allow wading out into the middle. Flowing out of the Appalachian foothills, the water is always cool.READ MORE
