Particularly notice the ice cicles at the top of the picture. 

See how they're straight back toward the house?

I suppose because of the way the wind blew?

Happy Thoughts for Sunday Morning

     Or any day for that matter).

Nature is too thin a screen;

the glory of the omnipresent God

bursts through everywhere. 

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer is the beginning and the middle

and the end of all good: prayer illumineth the soul

and thereby doth the soul distnguish great from evil.

--St. Francis

Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection,

not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

--Martin Luther

Let me tonight look back across the span

'Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say--

Because of some good act to beast or human--

"The world is better that I lived today."

--Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Happy blessings this wonderful day!
