Rainy October Day

It was a rainy October day, and this one rose was calling me outside to take some pictures.

Plants I want to try to save have been tucked into the greenhouse for the cooler nights.

Most of the mums keep on giving a beautiful display, while some of them are fading fast.

Pansies are so beautiful in spring or fall. I always have them in my garden.

The purple basil is still satisfying the bees right up till the end of the season. 

Rainy October days are comforting; the garden is saying goodbye to me one flower at a time, and in the spring it will come back one flower at a time after a period of rest.

In Victory,

Celebration of a Birth

 
It seems odd at this time of year to celebrate a birth when fall is upon us and winter is closing in. 

But with a new little one coming into the family, I can't focus on endings when it is very much about beginnings.

A beginning of a new life, a new outlook, a new routine, or whatever you are adopting new, celebrate with me. 

Life is getting ready for a victory lap, and it will be a glorious thing to see. 

It is a new beginning. Focus on that. Focus on the good. Focus on the virtue and not the vice.

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Matthew 19:14

In Victory,
