Walkin’ in the Rain

There have got to be some perks for going walking in the rain…



… and so there are ( :


Fungus looks especially lovely on a dim wet day…



…as does this old giant draped in green…



But home again, home again, is my favorite place to be… and look who came to visit so she could be featured here in her snazzy polka-dot ‘get up’!


A small speckled visitor
Wearing a crimson cape.
Brighter than a cherry
Smaller than a grape.

A polka-dotted someone
Walking on my wall.
A black-hooded lady
In a scarlet shawl.

What an incredible bit of workmanship, don’t you think?!
Wishing you little bright spots for your week too!

Up and Over the Mountain…

There’s nothing quite so refreshing and reorienting as a brisk clamber on a bright day--so up and over our little ‘mountain’ I went, all by my lonesome, yet not.

Glad for the sunshine and all the things it brings to light…

“For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.” Ps.95:3-6

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.” Ps.19:1 NLT

…no time to dawdle at the top; the sun was sinking fast…

…so I scampered on down with the setting sun, all tuckered out, and yet refreshed.

Considering God’s glory has a way of doing that.
