In Due Season, We Will Reap
Fall has arrived like a breath of fresh, cool air — and oh, how welcome it is. After a long summer of scorching heat, here we are watching God drape the world in brilliant yellows, fiery oranges, deep maroons, and golds that take our breath away. Trees preach better than some preachers this time of…
God’s Colorful Handiwork
We made it home from several spectacular days in Branson, MO. Yes, the shows were breathtaking — talent, artistry, musicians who stirred the soul — the whole package. But you know what stole the spotlight? God’s handiwork. Those trees. Those colors. Those hills dressed in yellows, oranges, maroons, and golds so vibrant I couldn’t stop…
White in September?
I’m still wearing white even though it’s September. Yes, I know the “rule” that white goes back in the closet after Labor Day, but who made that rule anyway? Fashion police? Grandma’s neighbor? The truth is, these days the only faux pas is not being yourself. White-white may rotate out, but winter white aka ivory,…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a soloist and member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. Indeed we were inspired in…
Let the Dead Leaves Fall
Happy Thanksgiving Eve!I decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving — mainly because I would soon head out for East Texas for our family celebrations. I wanted my Christmas décor out and displayed when I arrived back home. I clearly didn’t skip over Fall because I saw it in all its glory yesterday as I made my…
I’ll Take a Cloud…or Two
I read my “FB Memories” from this day a couple of years ago. Back then I was all caught up in gratitude for the rain, and cooler temperatures and the Fall season that was in the air. This year it seems Summer doesn’t want to give way just yet! I’m in Tulsa right now, and…
She’s Got Her Fall On
For a couple of weeks, I’ve walked by a neighbor’s door (seen here) that already had her Fall décor up. It jolted me because my mind wasn’t on Fall yet since we still have hot weather here. But then I remembered shopping at Hobby Lobby and their Fall décor was out and people were buying.…
Thanksgiving & Christmas – Together Hand in Hand
In big box stores, it’s been “beginning to look a lot like Christmas” for months now. They have touted us with their holiday wares since before Spring ended. On social media, I’ve seen many of my friends skipping right over Thanksgiving and their home is decked out in Christmas glory! A Washington State friend displayed…
It’s Time to Flip the Script
A couple of days ago I blogged about this wonderful new season of Fall making its debut. Gratitude commenced with great expectations. Despite the pandemic and political unrest, we still live in a land where life is good. We take many things for granted. The air conditioning stayed on, and we awoke to a comfortable…
Welcome, Fall! You Made It! Whoo-hoo!
September 22nd was the first day of fall. I let it slip up on me and pass me by. Maybe it did for you, too! Fall evokes so many sensual pleasures – the yummy pumpkin spice coffee and aromas that abound from aromatics and cooking. More than the sensual pleasures, what I love most about…
