The world outside my window

Outside my window is all the beauty anyone would wish to see,the tall poplar trees entertwine to form a canopy against the sky, the dogwood tree covered in its red berries providing a feast for the yellow finch nesting there, and the headline event of the day was a tiny humming bird, wings beating furiously as it ate from the feeder there. While the majestic mountains in the background shelter us all. What more beauty could a soul wish for.

Today

Did you ever wonder why it seems obstacles are put in your way all day long? is it just Gods way of trying our patience or is it a way to see how quick we want to get home to our haven of peace?

My garden

Beautiful red tomatoes and firm crisp cucumbers,harvested in the cool air of dawn.These are the treasures from my garden which I enjoy. When that red ball of heat ,crests the mountain top,I head for the shade and the air conditioner. Do you? Get the idea I don't like Summer?

Thoughts of fall!

The shadows are lengthening in my back yard, the temperature might contradict it but it sure looks like Autumn is approaching early,The cicadas and locust call to each other from the trees as the dark cloak of night falls obscuring the shadows

A country woman's thoughts

It's a hot summer day here in the Smokies and dog days are in full swing. Pati and I went to the farmer's market to support our local growers. Both of us bought sugar babies (small round green watermelons, known for the sweetness) and several other items.

My garden is scalded from the heat and excessive rain. We are going to 'can' tomatoes tomorrow for winter and can apples thursday. There isn't aything better than a fresh hot apple pie coming out of the oven, with the scent of cinnamon in the air, and snow on the ground. This will warm the soul and the body.
