Some of my Favorite Things about Fall


Some of my favorite things about Fall
Brilliant colors against a grey sky

 Crunching leaves under my feet as I walk about the yard

 Warm sun on a crisp cool day

 God's gifts of sight and sound to enjoy these things

 Thanks be to God!

Trying to Hide ~ Memories Return to My Mind ~ Reunions

My own high school class has not had a reunion in many years. I can only remember the 20th reunion of my class having taken place.  The talk of his reunion brought up a sad memory.

Image
We hunted up all the bricks that we could find around the pile of old stuff out back. We do think there are about enough to make the path through the garden. Rectangular sidewalk pieces will be on each end of the walk.  We are also waiting for a custom made iron plate to be finished for the street light mounting base.

This is worked on only part time as there are always the usual chores to finish.
