What a wonderful day, Sunday! First one this month!
How do you feel after that extra hour of sleep? Do all of your clocks change automatically? Some of mine do but I am a clock nut and it takes me a while to get the 12 changed that are not automatic.
Some of mine are unusual. I have a Seiko wall clock that on the hour splits apart, twirls around and plays music and then goes back together.
I have a grandfather clock that belonged to my parents, a mantel clock they gave us as a wedding gift, and a cuckoo clock that belonged to my grandparents. I have multiple clocks in every room.
To me clocks and coffee just make the world go around. So now I am off to get more coffee and enjoy the rest of my Sunday Blessings!
Friday again? Where did the week go? Well, we might as well start the weekend. Can you believe some schools are out today for the Texas Rangers World Series Champions parade?
Don't forget that we have to change all the clocks this weekend because you get an extra hour before church starts on Sunday.
The colors this time of year are so vivid and beautiful most days. We are starting a slight warm up each day starting today, from 45° to maybe 70°.
In fact, it might be a perfect day for a hike. There is this beautiful lake I would love to visit. Do you want to come along?
If you were thinking of this one, I don't think I will be visiting it any time soon. You are on your own. On second thought, I need to go in the backyard and uncover plants today.
We made it to Friday once again. Rain has been here and gone. But it is supposed to come back again. Now what?
On Wednesday, we spent over 4 hours moving plants. They all got a good drink of water and are now ready for the plastic to go over them. We are expecting 3 nights of temperatures in the 30's.
A picture from years past of the plastic pulled back in winter so they can get sunshine. WE have lots of plants, ok I do, in pots scattered around the front and backyard; lots of hanging baskets everywhere in the back.
This is what it looks like, again from years past, on a cold winter night. Lights are on and the heater is going.
All the plants in tubs, big plastic tubs, got moved to the front. They will go in the garage when temperatures drop with a heater turned on.
Just in case you were wondering... yes, I have plants inside too. This is the only window in the house that does NOT have a solar screen so the plants can get light. I have a plant or two in about 3 other locations inside the house.
So our adopted family came Monday after Will's dentist appointment!
Oh what a fun time was had by all! We ate delicious hamburgers! The guys watched Westerns and talked. Wendy made a great Apple Cranberry Coleslaw from a recipe I found and had bought all the ingredients. Then we harvested my Malabar Spinach and had a wonderful visit together.
As usual, Rbt shared lots of stories from many years ago with some knowledge thrown in. Believe me when I say that there is a lot of knowledge and stories worth listening to from him.
There is no telling how tall my 17 year old grandson is now. His mom is 6' and his half brother is 6'9". When I reach out my arms, they are at his waist. He is such a loving and kind man that knows God and the Bible. We are BLESSED!
We are so thankful for the family and friends that Jesus has put in our life! I am especially Blessed with my Hubby!
Fall is the time for Chrysanthemums to bloom. Isn't it amazing how different times of the year different plants show their colors.
This Tuesday morning we are still waiting for rain. It is west of us! Fort Worth got a nice rain yesterday evening!
Me, waiting for rain to get here. Cooler temperatures coming... a high of 55 for Halloween is cold! Not waiting for that! Just trying to be thankful for every minute of every day.
Whoa! What a way to start a Wednesday! Is there anything more beautiful than the beach? Where else would you choose to go today?
Even though I am not much of a water person, a trip to the lake is always beautiful too. Which do you prefer? They are both so beautiful, each in their own way.
How about a trip to the mountains where we can find a cler, cool stream and watch the colors of fall as they start to change? Are you up for that?
There is nothing like a waterfall even if there are no other colors but the rock that surrounds it. Oh! and the sounds it makes cascading down!
We might be lucky enough to see a couple of moose wandering down the stream with the mountains in the background surrounded by the colors of Fall as the evening shadows start to appear.
Let's end the day with a full moon as it reflects on a stream that is slowly rippling as it makes its way downstream. It has been a perfect day! Thanks for coming along with me, my friend.
I kept trying to find a graphic for Monday... and then I'm like wait, yesterday was Monday and today is already Tuesday; tomorrow is hump day.
No wonder time flies by so fast. The days, weeks, months and years just keep getting faster and faster. Sit back and enjoy the view.
If you do get out and about, be sure to share the love, just sprinkle it wherever you go every day. Then it will come back to you tenfold.
We also win when showing love to others. If you see someone who needs help, stop what you are doing and help them. It may take some effort on your part or take away from your day, but it will be a big win for you both.
Grab hold and ride the winds on a cloud and see where the Holy Spirit leads you and what Blessings you will encounter. It may be obvious right away or later on down the road but the trip will be worth it.
Blessings upon blessings forever and a day from my heart to yours!
Sunday morning, slight breeze with clouds around but no rain for us.
I think I lost another rose bush (this is NOT my rose, but I wish it was).
Then the Blessings came down from Heaven. We got 1/2" in this downpour and another 1/10" during the night when our electricity was off for 2 hours.. Thank you all for the prayers that were answered.
