Lake Winnebago South Shore |
A calm sunrise greets us most days |
Here in our little hermitage we face East. Our home is on a hill and our land runs down to be part of the valley which is what my eyes feast on in the morning. This picture shows the pasture, and the 9 acre field we let a farmer use for planting and beyond is wild area that holds woods, wetland, a pond and breaks of meadow.
Both areas, the lake we lived on for 18 years, and now our 26 years in the country have been a beautiful blessing. As I aged to the point my life is right now, I often reflect on the extravagant happenings, also, most days are sutler as the picture of a calm day break.
But each morning I awake and quickly look to the sky to see what kind of day it will be. Sailors, not having news and weather to help them did the same. Red in the morning the sailors warning, Red in the night is the Sailors delight.
Looking to the East early morning. |
The month of June almost makes me forget there is a winter!! Each day I discover a new bud of color peeking out of the lush green foliage. Or there is a grand display of God's orchestra in full view.
Spring Daises running wild. I let them have their way, loving their river of Joy flowing through the gardens. Afterwards they get pruned back and half removed to give room for other perennials coming.
Rosy Pink peonies are close by to share the scene. |
Another peonie is very full and demands lots of attention as I walk by each morning. I never am without my camera to witness this rebirth of nature that surrounds me.
Bearded Iris are in full swing. This one's name is Amazing Grace . A very appropriate name for the delicate colors and the bright orange beard. |
Columbine are not to be out done.
This is one of my favorite flowers that I search for each day until I discover it humbly fit in amongst the big show stoppers, like the peonies and the Iris
In the wilder areas we have Dames Rocket accent the Crazy Daises . |
Chickens add color to the gardens besides eating lots of bugs and then the added bonus -- large organic eggs.. emmmm so good in the morning! |
Gracie is very old but with our good care, shots, good food, warm tack room and being neutered she has blessed us with catching lots of vermin. |
Believe it or not this is a peonie. It made me smile when I saw it in its full bloom soaking up the morning sun.
But, the best thing I can do for you to see, hear, and experience is to sit quietly, ask Jesus Christ, to come in to the door of your heart, and wait........He will come!
A God Hug to you all , artist unknown, it was emailed to me awhile back. Blessings and Love to you all. Kate |
