Go here and read all about it and join in if you want to.
Thanksgiving Challenge
Day #3
I love the changing of seasons and I love living in a four seasons climate.
The gifts of each season are enormous.
But you have to look for them.
After the hard frost we had a few days ago, I discovered this in the area where my fishpond and waterfall had been.
I had a beautiful Clematis climbing up behind the waterfall which had been cut down, so I thought.
Blooms hanging on protected by a nearby Japanese Maple and Oak trees.
A touch of summer still hanging on.
The struggle of nature to hang on coupled with the
protection of community. Reminds me of Jesus' plan for his church.
I then went out to bring in the newspaper. Just before daylight.
HH had left his car in the driveway and it was covered with frost.
I am thankful for the gifts of nature and find joy in the simplest of these.
Hooking up with
Having........Hot, steaming, Maxwell House coffee
In......My regular coffee cup
Feeling..........Better than yesterday and the 4 days before.
Thinking.......This has got to be the worse virus attack I have ever had.
Grateful........That it is gradually going away. Slow, but it is going away. I hope far away into the wild blue yonder and will bother no one else.
Gotta love the small things
while at the same time disliking the slowness of my computer this AM.
If the future road loom ominous or unpromising, and the road back uninviting, then we need to gather our resolve and, carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. – Maya Angelou
