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.

 

 

These blue beauties greet me as I step out onto my front porch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zinnias treat me to a splash of color out in the garden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mock Orange bush is heavily-laden with delicate blossoms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though her thorns prick, her beauty still captures one’s heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
