~I saw God wash the world last night with His sweet showers on high, and when the morning came, I saw Him hang them out to dry.

He washed each tiny blade of grass and every trembling tree; He flung his showers against the hill, and swept the billowing sea.

The white rose is cleaner white, the red rose is more red, Since God washed every fragrant face and put them all to bed.

There's not a bird, there's not a bee that wings along the way, but cleaner bird and bee than it was yesterday. I saw God wash

the world last night. Ah, would He had washed me as clean of all my dust and dirt as that

old white birch tree. ~ William L. Stidger

~Break Time~Took a relaxing walk today in the Pine Forest. Temp today was in the high 30's..Brrrrrr ! In the forest it was even colder. I didn't leave empty handed, I picked some beautiful cones off the forest floor and will give them to the fairies to work their magic. And my being felt peaceful to walk in Gods creation. !! Here are some more goodies !!

~Let it snow,let it snow, let it snow~ Travels upstate brought a surprise.........the white stuff. Thankfully it melted the next day and the sun was shining brightly. The crispness of the air and the blanket of purity was a blessing to my senses. Spending time with loved ones, was the best part. During these weeks to come, as we all are preparing for the feasts and gatherings of the holiday season........remember to seek the joy in all, be a blessing to one another and cherish every moment in time.

~The beauty of fall in upstate New York~The trip is long...........but the scenery helps make time slip by. It was early morning and the fog was laying in the valley blanketing the trees. The deer were out grazing and Gods glory was all around~~The fruits of our Labor~During my summer visit, I helped plant a "humble" garden, to my amazement the harvest was plenty.

~Autumn, the season of maturity.............Thistledown, the feathery fluff pictured below. During the summer months, the thistle flower is purple in color and fyi, it is the national flower of Scotland.

~Tuffys last day on the farm~ He is known to us by Tuffy. An awesome machine, strong and willing to work at any moment. He has labored on the farm over two decades, and he has served well. With his assistance, projects were demolished and built. Thousands of pounds of snow has he moved, and many a meadow mowed. He is now on a journey to Poland. He will be used for farming and his work load will be lighter. Today was his day of retirement...............................

~Tuffy saves the day~............and not without the last hurrah!!!! The tractor trailor that was Tuffys escort to the border, got stuck in the soft ground. Well, good ol Tuffy was chained and secured and pulled that eighteen wheeler out like it was a go cart! kodos to Tuffy!!!

~Securing Tuffy for the journey~The boys assist the driver in the securing of items on the trailor. They are so helpful and willing to assist. They are the best............my sons.

~Ready for the journey~

~Tuffy leaves in a cloud of dust~ Fare well Tuffy........we will miss you. Good night night tractor, good night sheep, good night moon it's time to sleep.

~ Dedicating this song to you Dodger~ When I first heard this song many years ago, it brought to my mind the days of when Dodger would chase after the butterflies in the field. His energy was endless, he was fearless and his loyality was true. Time has made him older, mellow and cautious. On those rare occasions of a visit from a butterfly, my mind reflects back to the days of "the dog" and the butterfly. Thanks for your faithfulness......................

~Inspirational Weekend~ Working on some projects this weekend was rewarding. Remember to make the most out of yourself, because that is all there is of you.....R.W. Emerson

~~Pit Stop~~ Orient Point.....Well of course....The beach..... Couldn't take a day trip and pass by.We did find some mermaid tears, and enjoyed the warm sun and fresh crisp air..........

~~Harvest Time~~ The farmers are busy with the harvest, out on the north shore. Many farms dot the land out there. Some of the pumpkins were mammoth. Take that Charlie Brown. For some FYI, the winerys are in abundance too.

~Weekend day trip out to Orient Point~~
This past weekend I took my parents out to the end of the Island, the North shore. We stopped off at the "Lavender by the Bay" shop...tucked away on Main Street in Marion. As you make your way up the driveway, you are enveloped with the scent of lavender. The fields are full with bushes of the hardy plant and the vibrant color is a mesmerizing sight. The shop is filled with of course lavender,crafts fill every inch of this quaint place. Of course we did not leave empty handed, what did you think? We not only left with our purchases, but we meet the owner, which was a bonus and our spirits were calm and relaxed......................

~Greetings and warm wishes~~ Spent part of the day at the beach and added to my collection of beach glass..... The day was peaceful and refreshing and the gulls seemed to have felt the same.

~No better way to end the summer~ With my wonderful sons, at the beach! Absolute bliss............

~Trip to up state NY~Spent last week up state visting and renovating. Never enough time in the day. The boys came home from college for a few days which was a bonus. Never enough time though.The greetings I recieved from Dodger and Bridget (furry friends) was precious, and Tippy is still purring strong. The weather was perfect and time spent was productive and rewarding. Along for a walk I came across some special treasures. Special thanks to all for a lovely time in the country. See you soon..................
