Sum...Sum...Summer Time!!!

 

It's summertime in the country. Here in the Mid-west we had a blazing week of heat earlier in the month, but since then it hasn't been so bad. I could live with the 70's and 80's--with no humidity. It would be fine with me if it could stay like that, say, until the end of September-- than get chilly. Okay, maybe I ask for a lot...

In the meantime I'm bringing you some more pictures for "Take Me Home Tuesday".

 



The view directly across from the house.



Is it just me, or doesn't that look kind of artistic?





My daughter mowing the yard this past weekend. She enjoyed herself.



Ready to plant some more lavender.















Home Sweet Home...

The Barns Of NorthWest Ohio



Sun bleached.

Rain beaten.

Utilitarian buildings

that are beacons

to the farming way of life.

Barns standing

over the years

as a reminder of those

that work the land

and raise the animals.

Strong. Sturdy. Dependable.

Though my family does not farm, we are surrounded by those who do.

I am thankful for them.

Each day, I am reminded more and more of God's grace.

Wonderful. Amazing. Grace.

I have much to be thankful for...we all do.

I continue with my list of thanks, my eucharisteo, to the One who gives the moments. Each one a gift.

#350 laughter

#351 time spent with the ones I love

#352 contentment

#353 family

#354 deep conversations

#355 warm chocolate chip cookies

#356 non-busy Friday night

#357 Saturday afternoon

#358 my son cleaning the kitchen for me

#359 soft cats

#360 bedtime
