Flowers and such...

I'm trying to pick back up on my walk/jogging, so the other morning I was out. I was so rewarded by the cheerful good morning of these Black-eyed Susan's. Usually that area of the woods is mowed by Papa in anticipation of a large amount of snowfall, so it doesn't give time for the later summer flowers. (I did let him know so he won't mow yet this year. :-) They are so perky.

Here's Darling "helping" with the laundry. She loves that perch. She likes to play with the dryer sheets or whatever else is up there from someone's pockets.

There other day we walked up the hill to Gpa & Gma's and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. This is posted for Gma's sister in Texas.

Darling and Gma share a favorite passion - looking for and collecting rocks. Gma lets Darling put rocks along her flower garden ledge.

Dunk has Gma playing ping pong (great brain exercise!) with her grandkids along the front of the house.

(The pink board is for covering the table when not in use, so the dew doesn't wreck it.)

The moon has been beautiful and full!! This is from up the hill, looking down.

I've been busy getting ready for school, as well as helping and watching a close friend get ready to leave for China. It is heart-rending to watch her go, but inspiring to watch her family go through this time and see God's grace in their lives. We take them to the airport about 4 or so on Wednesday morning. If you think of them, please pray for them as they make the journey and the transitions. Tonight will be our last meal together for quite awhile. Our family is praying about making the journey to visit them in 2010. That would need quite a bit of prayer as well. :-) We'll see what the Lord has is store......
