Gracious! It is Friday!

Feeding on Hibiscus!









I can't believe that it is Friday already and that I have been silent all week long! It isn't that my week has been boring because it has really been non-stop & I have been blessed all week long! In my previous post I was thrilled by the evidence of Fall everywhere. We have had crisp, cold temperatures at night and moderate temperatures during the day. Great weather for garage sales, soccer & football, tail-gating, and of course, the upcoming hunting season. But, as wonderful as the changing leaves and the sweaters have been, I am equally amazed that blossoms continue to appear where there should be no blossoms at all. This beautiful red Hibiscus is in our backyard. I was fascinated to find the shrub covered in red blooms and yellow butterflies. I took many pictures but this was the only one that was worthy of posting. Feeding on Hibiscus seems like a nice past-time on a beautiful Fall day!

Hope you are feasting on the beauty of the Lord!!!

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:3-4

Sunday afternoon was truly beautiful...one of those days when the sky is so blue it almost hurts to look at it and the temperature was perfect. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the quiet of the day. Little did I know that I would find the backyard buzzing with all sorts of activity...the kind that you think only occurs in the spring or the summer...not later October. The flowers were covered with bees, butterflies, wasps and hummingbirds. The bees and wasps would dive into the bushes so I was never able to snap a picture of them. And, the hummingbirds were just too quick for my old reflexes. The butterflies, however, were most cooperative. The pics above are just a few of the many great pictures I was able to take. God put on a great show for me and I offered Him lots of praise for the display. It really made my heart joy-filled.

Hope your week has started well.
