~ Autumn, Fall, Simple + Southern Sunday

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭84‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

On the second full day of autumn the sun briefly looked like a gigantic pumpkin sitting on the horizon. Maybe I’m just overcome with thoughts of pumpkins since I’ve been called on to get a few…by my people, for my people.

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 566

~ Autumn, Gardening, Simple + Southern Sunday

“You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

September is the gateway to my favorite month of October! However, I have thoroughly enjoyed these September days of cooler nights and days of lower humidities! Unfortunately, it is heating back up into the 90’s this week!READ MORE
