Autumn Stroll - Walk with Me

Come along on our nightly stroll.

Just a few of our resident turkey flock, which consists of several dozen.

Deer tracks.

Our round pen, which houses summer memories.

The color is coming.

One of our tiny cabins...the Trapper.

The perfect place to read, meditate or pray.

 Our trails.

Coming off our trail system.

Compliments of our trail cam...a doe.

And those lean bucks who are chasing her down, also compliments of our trail cam.

Miss Sookie says hello...

The woods in all His glory.

We love being stewards of God's land, while we are on this awesome earth.

Until tomorrow, God willing...

Amish School Begins

When visiting an Amish family last Friday,
my friend Ellen and I arrived at 10 in the morning to find mother,
Mary,
sitting by their corner desk,
sewing by hand.

Spools of dark blue thread were near,
as she worked on sewing a dark blue dress for her young daughter Susan,
who giggled and grinned at the prospect of school starting this Monday.

Little Anna was excited too, because her birthday is today, the second day of school.  She turns 7.

The children were excited to start...  

And Mary will be home alone during the day, without little ones, for the first time ever.

The children,
all five of them,
will be taking a "double team" of horses to the school,
3 miles away.

Lunch pails in hand.  Horses tied nearby, waiting for the trip home.

Fall is right around the corner my friends.

Until tomorrow, God willing.

The Energy of Autumn

I love this time of year.

And the excitement and energy it brings to our psyche.



Ushering in Autumn

Mother Nature is smiling.

It makes sense that the first day of Fall...

Is on the eve of a Full Moon.

Welcome Autumn...

And farewell summer...until next year.

God willing.

Signs of Autumn

September...

There's a peacefulness about Autumn, unlike any other changing of the season.

Color ushers in stark, cold, white.

The animals see it coming way before us humans.

Fall...my favorite time of year.

When my world is focused and everything seems right.
