Hi Dear Ones..... I hope you and yours are doing well and all is sweet in your world. I hope your daily joys are many! Mine are and I am so grateful for them. Let's see.... I made a huge pot of spaghetti for my family and they loved it. I passed by a man carrying the American flag as he ran around the lake and it made me cry with gratitude and pride. I took Bentley to the vet for his annual checkup and he is a whopping 10 pounds, very healthy, and as you can see in the quick phone capture above, the best kisser... ever.
;-)
I've taken advantage of the sprinkles from the sky that we have been having and have gotten caught up on laundry. There is something about the smell of fresh laundry .... Marley loves to stare at the rain through the porch screen though I know he would rather be outside, digging in the dirt. I am collecting heart leaves. There have been many on my walks... it is amazing to see. And speaking of amazing, our Papa Goose is amazing as always. He is such a daily dose of joy for me that is just as important for my heart and well being as my vitamins. How I adore that goose.
Though the time has not yet changed, I sense it coming. The lamps need to come on a little bit earlier and for that I am grateful. I am one of the ones who does not prefer daylight savings time. I prefer darkness to settle in like a comfy blanket when supper is on the table.
I had the honor of taking pictures of Baby Adylin - the daughter of one of Shannon's sweet friends and oh my! Adylin and her dreamy blue eyes was precious! She was captivated by the curiosities around her and it was fun to try to capture that with my camera. I love working on the pictures once home..... I turn on my Pandora and I create and it feels heavenly.
Let's see.... other daily doses of joy? Well I love seeing the moon in the morning sky. I love Miss Maggie-Pie. I love the twinkling evening lights that dance around our lake as God tucks it and all of His creatures in for the night.
I love so many things as I know you do too.
And I love sharing in that knowing with you.

Thank you for sharing such lovely pictures. Right now I get a daily dose my new grand daughter through face time. After three grandsons I have sweet grand daughter who lives in Oregon. My son and DIL face time with me just about every day. I get to say hello to Hallie Lynn . A double joy is when my grandsons are here and they get to see "baby Hallie"!
I am blessed.

I can certainly relate to your crying at the sight of the man with the flag. Had myself a good cry this morning reading facebook. A very proud Mom had taken a picture from her car of her 10 year old son standing alone at the flagpole at school to pray. It was supposed to be a gathering of students to pray but he was the only one there. I bowed my head and asked God to bless that precious little heart and to protect him thru the coming years of his life. School can be such a scary place for children these days and they need our prayers to help them get thru the day. Oh, and by the way, my little Gracie gives good mouth sugar too!!! Don't we love them so? Have a blessed day Kim.
