Golden Autumn Light


There was a cacophony outside so I rushed out to see what in the world would make so much noise. It wasn't a bad sound just loud. The neighbors lawn was covered with 100's of crows.

It was such a strange sight because they weren't in the trees but down on the lawn happily pecking away at whatever treat they had found.

It was after taking in this sight that I began to realize what a beautiful afternoon we had.

Everything was being bathed in golden autumn light.

The light shining through the trees was so beautiful.

And all the beautiful leaves were turning such delightful colors.

Even the leaves that are green are glorious when bathed in the golden light

Seeing all of this beauty really got me thinking.

About how when we ask . . .

God will bathe us in His light

It doesn't matter what darkness we are in . . .

All we have to do is ask, and He will take all the pieces of our life . . .

Every part no matter how drab or colorful it is . . .

And He will begin to clean and heal us

And soon our life will begin to take on beauty

And we will be able to share what He did for us when we see dark places in others.

We will be able to bring the light of His glory all around us

He can do the same in your life too . . .

He can change your dark places into light. You just have to ask

Last Fall Fling

I took a little walk through my garden the other day before our first frost and I am so glad. My garden had so many beautiful sights to offer. My roses were showing their last beautiful splendor of the season . . .

My trees were just beginning to show theirs . . .

There was almost a dreamy quality to that evening as I walked . . .

My kitty babette' joined me on this walk . . .

After a little peek in the house that is . . .

My mums are at their most gorgeous . . .

Sahara decided to join in our walk too . . .

Along the way we saw Simba playing in the grass . . .

Bootsie was enjoying a nice spot in the shade . . .

As you can see I enjoy my kitties. I always have 14 or so around the house.

This is TJ. He is one of my older kitties.

Along the way I stopped by one of my favorite trees. I just love the way the bark curls off this tree. I never have to mulch my garden around this tree.

I love the pink edges on the petals of this beautiful rose.

This Knockout rose was a gift from one of my daughters. It always makes me smile.

This is one of our local vines that can be a bit of a weed but I like it so sometimes I let it have a spot. (shhhhhhh don't tell the other gardeners here in Seymour)

This is one of my holly trees. I have several varieties and this is my favorite.

Hope you enjoyed our little walk.

Until Next time

These Boots Are Made For Walking!
Today is the day for Deb's boot party!
We are all sharing our favorite pair of boots
Be sure to check out more of the boots at Deb's Ladybug From Texas


Here they are! Yes, I know they don't look very Texas. Can you imagine me kicking around the rain in Paris, France? Or Maybe splashing around the puddles in New York City? I could while away the day in these on the moors of Scotland. I could look stylish in the fog of London. Or maybe I could walk along the harbor in some exotic port city? Well, I can too but what I actually use them for is mucking around my critter pens when it is wet. Not very romantic but very practical. But no one says I can't look good while doing it!
