Old-fashioned Day Lily
Although this is not officially winter, we got the first real snow fall this morning. The forecast leads us to expect below freezing temperatures this week with a thaw near the weekend. With the gray and chill in the air, I thought now might be a good time to highlight the sights of the past summer. I hope you enjoy them and let this refresh you.
Among the sights of ongoing work, flowers reach out to cheer us and display God’s handiwork.
Fully-opened Balloon Flowers and Developing Balloons
These blue beauties greet me as I step out onto my front porch.
Zinnias Reflect the Sun's Radience
Zinnias treat me to a splash of color out in the garden.
Mock Orange Beauty Mixed with Sweet Fragrance
The Mock Orange bush is heavily-laden with delicate blossoms.
A Hardy Red Rose
Though her thorns prick, her beauty still captures one’s heart.
Pink Peony Nods its Fully-Bloomed Head
This floral spectacle comes to a close with our Peony signalling the end as she takes summer’s final bow.
We thank the Lord for what He has done and eagerly await summer’s return when He paints a new canvas of beauty for us to behold.

Oh they are all so pretty…can we just skip winter this year?
Ah, but there me be another beauty to behold.
I suppose. I just hate the cold.
Yes the driving conditions are my main concern.
