Simple + Southern Sunday No. 596

~ Simple + Southern Sunday, Spring

“By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

As spring progresses, we continue to work on our little spot on the river, trimming and clean up in order to maintain a good view. The picnic table is in place and it’s about time to drape it with a red and white checked tablecloth and have a country picnic. I’m willing to furnish such a tablecloth if I can find those who are willing to provide a basket filled with goodies suitable for a picnic lunch. Searching for takers before the weather gets very hot. It was around 90 on Friday, but tonight is predicted at 38 so there’s still plenty of time!READ MORE

“My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass. But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations.”
Psalm‬ ‭102‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We begin today with a throwback that is from 10 years ago this week. I took this with an iPhone 6, and I am sure I thought it was a quality photo at the time. But truly, these huge fields of canola I found over in west Georgia were stunning. It was yellow as far as I could see. I remembered these fields as I became focused on “yellow” while on a hike last week. You’ll see what I mean later in the post!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 594 – Easter

“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Easter Blessings To Everyone

I was greeted by a fiery sky on a nice morning last week. Should you happen to notice a dark spot in middle of the photo it was not a speck on the lens. A large, eagle-sized bird was flying above the river. We do have a lot of vultures around, this was quite a ways, and looking into the brightness made it impossible to identify. We also see eagles flying along the river here behind the house from time to time. I saw a total of 3 on the same day last week that I could identify, but no real camera that I could grab quick enough. My old iPhone-12 just does not do a good job if zooming is needed! Pam’s 17 works really well.READ MORE
