Rambling Friday: Preparing for Spring

I love flowers.

I love beauty.

I love when things I've wanted forever is finally ready to be done! 

Thankfully, I have a husband--who is always busy--who works with my wants as best as he can. 

That statement leads me to this:  We have a steep bank, cause we live on a mountain top--just kidding, but it is a nice-sized hill. The picture depicts some of the hill and some of the plans I have for it. Fall transplanting and fall bulb planting will, hopefully, produce a beautiful display of plants throughout next summer. 

It's only the beginning, but it's a start. Wish us luck! 

Sunday Morning Sunshine: The Beauty of Autumn

 Remember how fun it was to find acorns?

Squirrels really enjoy them.

A long winter's day food supply!

Who doesn't enjoy apples, 

one of the top best fruits!

That includes applesauce, apple butter, apple cider.

Yum! 

Who hasn't plunged into a carefully raked-up pile of colorful leaves?

The fun!

The excitement! 

Grownups who are, for a few moments,

reliving their childhood activities!

The bonfires where we enjoyed

the not-so-good-for-you hotdogs.

Where family and friends gathered to laugh,

share stories and sit quietly pondering life.

It will be over this year soon in just a few more short days.

Enjoy revisiting these memories or...

create your own. 

2021 Autumn will be gone before we know it! 

Sunday Morning Sunshine: Autumn Beauty

Acorns for the squirrels...

and imaginative kids

Bonfires for those who love the cool weather

but enjoy a bit of warmth too

For those who love walking in the rain 

with a big umbrella 

and who relish listening to the crunch of fallen leaves

Foggy mornings and...

a bit of sunshine too

The beauty God created for us! 

I'm thankful for Autumn's beauty!
