Simple + Southern Sunday No. 500

~ Aerial Photogaphy, Nature, Simple + Southern Sunday

“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!””
‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭31‬ (‭ESV)

There’s nothing magic about the number 500, but it is a milestone to us as it represents almost 10 years of Simple Southern Sunday. The first SSS was the last Sunday of October, 2014. Our everyday living today is incredibly different from those days, and I would venture to say yours is too. We are so blessed and extremely grateful that God, by His grace, has providentially allowed us to be here and share number 500!READ MORE

~ Gardening, Nature, Simple + Southern Sunday, Summer

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Road construction has been ongoing for several years on the highway that will soon route traffic further away from us. While road construction isn’t necessarily an attractive feature of our everyday living (and daily drive), a scene like this will take your mind off those orange and white barrels!READ MORE

Wildflowers Of Spring

~ Flowers, Nature, Outdoors, Spring, Wildflowers

Hello sweet friends! I can’t remember exactly when RM started writing my Simple + Southern Sunday posts. As you all know, he is an outdoorsman and a keen observer of nature. I know so many of you enjoy his observations, unique style of writing, and photography. Over the past few years, he has amassed an amazing photo collection of wildflowers. I thought you might enjoy having some of these collected in a post that you could refer to if needed. I will do my best to organize these for you by season. This is not even close to being exhaustive, but today I offer you Wildflowers of Spring!

“The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.”
‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬ ‭

“If all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wildflowers.”
