The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

 June 9th- A few of my favorite things...

~Tiny red bright buds at the top of a stem with deep green leaves

~The buds incongruously opening up to reveal bright yellow pinwheels

~Pinwheels that open up into the four bright yellow heart-shaped petals with an "X" at the center....The Evening Primrose

 Nov 29th- A few of my favorite things...

~Snow resting on the tops of the bushes

~Snow resting on a bench awaiting weary travelers

~Snow resting on the hardiest of red roses trying to make it into December

Sept 24th- A few of my favorite things...
~Canada geese stopping by for a snack in the harvested field
~An Oldwife Underwing Moth hiding in plain sight
~The golden light of sunset coloring the tops of the still-green trees into a taste of what is to come

The Habit of Thankfulness: A Few of My Favorite Things

Aug 10th- A few of my favorite things...
~Trying to smile even when the sun makes it hard
~Sunlight turning the tops of the trees into gold
~Golden streaks of highlighted clouds streaking across the sky

  

The girls dropped off the last of their lemonade stand money to

"In My Father's Kitchen"

...and made some artwork for them!

The Golden Hour

Cast gold everywhere...

Streaking across the sky...

Radiating from the west..

Filling the sky...

with golden splendor...

and oranges and blues that words...

barely capture.
