In the lush green of the Earth
The dashing
The tiny ones patiently waiting
The excitement of being alive
Ah—yes! Flap the wings and fly High.
Earth…and those things on the earth —- so very, very wonderful!

I’ve been having a bit of a problem with the raccoons—so I put out a game camera to see what I could see–
No, raccoons, but a darling Mom and her little one moving through the farm as the full moon sang to Earth among the million stars dotting the dark blue sky.
So cute! (They don’t eat my flowers (so far) I only plant things they don’t like. Therefore, I get the thrill of tiny hoof prints in the soil.

Oh, Heavenly Father,
I thank you so much for hearing my prayers.
I thank you so much for loving us—
all people, plants, animals
and the Earth, we call home.
Thank you.
Humbly I pray, Amen.

As the night started closing in, the murmuring of the water and the flashing/setting sunlight illuminated the beauty all around.
Then home again we rode—the earth seeping darkness; lifting toward the sky and the sky blazing with glorious color.

There is such a magical beauty about this time of year
The stunning glory of the spread wings of the the Red-Winged Blackbirds
The chirping song of the Red-breasted Robins
Shadows starting to show leaves, instead of stark limbs
A little tiny slice of the moon; sending it’s light into the pulse of the earth
The sun shines through the clouds right into our souls.
The granules of sand, dust, and dirt gifting love to each one of us.
We are all so blessed, you and I. So very blessed.

(Mom was not very happy with me—I don’t understand why)
I love seeing the water flowing down the ditch. Into the siphon tubes. Then onto the roots of the growing plants.
The sound of the water…moving, moving feeds my soul.
