Natural Abundance

I'm in awe of the beauty of nature as each day unfolds and something new blooms in our yard. Rain or shine, the Earth provides us with natural abundance.

Dear Mother Nature,
I am grateful.

Be good to yourself and each other. Namaste'   

                            

Don't Bug Me

The scientific name for these insects is Tipulidae also known as the Crane Fly but I've always called them mosquito eaters. Ha!

Do they really eat mosquitos? If so, this one has fallen down on the job because as hubby and I were walking last evening, some of those pesky varmints were buzzing me. I guess we'll have to walk earlier from now on.

Take good care of yourself and others ... Namaste'

Saying Good-Bye to the Dog Days of August

Some of my rose bushes are wearing the blush of Autumn already. Won't be long now until the crisp air is upon us. Have you noticed how the light is changing everywhere?

Saying good-bye to August. Namaste'

Playing with Geese

There are always geese flying over our house and I love them! It just seems that I never have my camera handy when they make their pass. But the other day I had my phone with me and finally got a picture. And then I decided to give them some friends by doing a ghost image. I guess you could say I've been playing with the geese. Honk! Honk!

Some folks believe that Oregon is always rainy, cloudy and gloomy. Not so ... we've experienced incredibly clear blue skies of late and only about 99 drops of rain. Actually, I'm hoping for some of that wet stuff soon. Well, I'm sure we'll get our share this winter, but with the wildfires going on, it sure would be nice for Mother Nature to step up to the plate and rain all over the West. 

Namaste'
