Day #24 - A Walk by the River

George took me to lunch & we went for a walk on the greenbelt by the river. The little squirrel seemed to pose for us! I love the contrasting colors in the other picture. Looks like Christmas to me!

Day #23 Wasps?

During our photography class field trip our teacher thought this was a wasp nest. When George looked at the picture he said, "Must have been some big wasps!" So is it a bird nest? Anyone know for sure?

Day #22 - Veteran's Day

Thanks to all our military heroes who have protected our freedoms in the past and continue to protect us today. Let freedom ring!

Day #21 - Young Women Birthdays

Our Presidency makes a memory scrapbook page for each of our YW on her birthday. The pictures are from camp so the girls almost never like the way they look but I think they are all beautiful! I hope when they look at them they'll remember the good times we have had and also the theme for the year. "Be thou an example of the believers in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

Day #20 - Contented Cat

Here is the one and only member of our family who is convinced that a dog-less house is a good house!

Is there a blue eye reduction button somewhere? She is 16 years old. I think she has cataracts.

Day #19

Something about the variety of textures in this photo appeals to me.......

Day #18 - The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water,

and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought

of grief. I come into the presence of still water.

And I feel above me the day-blind stars

waiting with their light. For a time

I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Barry
