Pumpkin Party

I am excited about joining the pumpkin party. When I taught, I always did a pumpkin theme and we had such fun!
Some of these photos have been posted before but some are new.

We have pumpkins on the door ...

and pumpkins on Skipper.

The plan was to let Skipper wear his cute little pumpkin head band but he ate it! See what I have to live with!
He really is a keeper even if he doesn't like photo shoots.

Fall Mantel

Well, I pulled out a little more fall decorations and  now have fall decorating boxes all over the guest bedroom and a big ole mess.  I am making do with what I have....

I just got new pictures of the grand babies so I decided to work them in, lol. After all, they are my two little pumpkins.

And speaking of the grand babies we had the best time this week-end. We went to feed the ducks and explore. Where do they get all of that energy?

Glad you dropped by for a visit. Have a good week and y'all come back.

Sunday Reflections

Do not fret. (Psalm37:1)

What does it mean to fret? It has been defined as that which makes a person rough on the surface causing him to rub himself and others away.

Isn't it true that an irritable, irrational and critical person not only wears himself out but is also very draining and tiring to others? When we worry and fret we are a constant annoyance. This Psalms  not only says ... "do not fret because of evil men," but leaves no room for fretting whatsoever. It is very harmful and God does not want us to hurt ourselves or others.

Any physician can tell you that a fit of anger is more harmful to your system than a fever and that a disposition of continual fretting is not conducive to a healthy body. The next step down from fretting is being quick tempered and that amounts to anger. May we set it aside once and for all and simply be obedient to the command. "Do not fret.'
Streams in the Desert

Overheard in an orchard

Said the robin to the sparrow

"I should really like to know

Why these anxious human beings

Rush around and worry so."

Said the sparrow to the robin:

"Friend, I think that it must be

That they have no Heavenly Father

Such as cares for you and me."
