So —- Tuesday, July 23, 2024

So, into the twilight

Where everything is big and large and full of the day’s last light.

Yes….Terry and I truly do find joy, in being out on the land.

And the baby ears are forming!

So!  SOOO! Very exciting!

“Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all….summer was Dill.”  Harper Lee

Blessings—Thursday, July 18, 2024

I’ve been thinking about Blessings, lately.

Thinking how we (as a human race) are always looking for blessings–often time meaning some huge big something we are wanting/need/hoping for

But then it dawned on me—they are really everywhere-

In each moment of every day —for instance

When the birds sing loudly—scattering their voices for all to hear

The wind sings a little song in the leaves (in the trees or on the ground)

The summer gifts of rains and rainbows to the

The snows of winter.

Blessings are here and there and everywhere—why just now getting to visit with you is a huge blessing to me.

And when you comment we get the joy of communication between us.

Blessings!

They are everywhere. Truly!
