“His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the legs of a man, but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭147‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Most days last week found the skies filled with high top cotton candy clouds. Clouds often take the shape of an animal or an object and you immediately notice the resemblance as soon as you gaze up at it. I searched the heavens all week thinking something obvious would appear, but only beautiful clouds! And beautiful clouds are quite enough!!READ MORE

A Sunflower Parade

~ Appalachian Foothills, Flowers, Gardening, Outdoors, Summer

Hello sweet friends and Happy Tuesday! The heat and humidity continue in our Appalachian Foothills, but it is expected because it’s just summer in the South!

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Pour yourself a glass of iced tea and join me for a sunflower parade!

Anticipation builds as I look forward to the sunflower parade each year! I love capturing images of their large, happy, and sunny faces. Once they begin blooming I take a few photos almost every day.READ MORE

“We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭75‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A summer sunrise is certainly a wondrous deed, and something to always be thankful for. It is the close of the holiday weekend and I understand today is a very busy travel day. It was estimated that 71 million people would be traveling for the fourth of July, which is why we stayed close to home!READ MORE
