I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. ~Psalm 4:8

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young - a place near your altar, O Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Blessed are those whose strength is in you.

Just saying hi to all my fellow Monday Meanderers!
Good luck with doing your storage unit this week and I think today's little remembrance is SO sweet! Marking our spiritual milestones is so important and something not many do.

Hi J, just checked in to let you know I tagged you (of sorts). Haven't been browsing much of late. I've just read that you are in the blue ridge mountains. We hope to spend a few days at the start of our holiday doing the skyline drive and part of the blue ridge parkway and then visit Asheville near the end. Any tips welcomed. Have you heard of ecohaven? I'm struggling to find it on my map :)
Have a great weekend, Deb

~July 2~
The weather has been mild and beautiful. We've had a couple of thunderstorms in the afternoon, but unfortunately we need a lot more rain. I absolutely love throwing open the windows and letting the fresh air in and listening to the chorus of songbirds.

~June 22~
Today we saw a deer in the woods. She stopped for a long time to look at us, as we were looking at her. She was so beautiful! Rhododendrens are now blooming in the mountains.

~June 21~
Saw our first lightning bugs last night. Now I know summer is really here!

~June 20~
Today is the earliest summer soltice in 112 years! We've had a beautiful summer-like week here. It's been almost perfect weather - not to hot, a beautiful breeze and clear blue skies. Although we need more rain, I was thankful that my daughter had a beautiful weather week at camp. I am starting to see the blueberries budding on the bushes - can't wait! Our dog is finding great pleasure in chasing all the butterflies - and I'm sure they are having fun teasing him. Lots of gorgeous yellow Goldfinches flying around where we live as well as the ever impressive Cardinals. I'm sure enjoying the laid-back feel of summer.

~June 11~
It's finally cooler today! We've had 5 straight days of record breaking heat. It's only supposed to get in the mid 80's today. Had a nice thunderstorm and rain shower yesterday. Much needed as we are in quite the drought right now. Seeing lots of rabbits on our walk today and one beautiful Cardinal. They have to be one of the prettiest birds around.

~March 15~
Windy, rain and thunderstorms!

~March 9~
A beautiful sunshiny day! Saw our first wild daffodils today! Love them! You know spring's on the way when you start to see them blooming.

~March 8~
Started out pretty warm, progessively got colder till we had snow flurries!

~March 7~
Rain again today! We so need it, so no complaints.

~March 6~
Starting to see little buds on the trees.

~March 5~
Rained almost the whole day! We really needed the rain. Despite all the water, the birds were having a grand ole time flying around and chirping away. What joy the sound of birds are, heralding in the soon-to-be springtime.

~Calendar & Such~
