We’re having another heat wave and it didn’t cool down much this evening.

I am loving this heat wave! It's going to be 90 here today, but, alas, it will only get up to 70 on Monday. That means most of the day will only be in the 60's. A bit too cool for me.

Have a beautiful Sunday, dita.

Likewise, in the Holy Land after a rainstorm, dry ground can seemingly sprout vegetation overnight. Isaiah used rain's renewal to illustrate God's refreshing Word: "As the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it" (Isa. 55:10-11).

God is Watching

I know He watches over me,
I feel His gaze and touch.
He gives me strength to face my fears,
I know He loves me much.
I trust in Him, he guides me on,
He never turns away.
I know that if, I do get lost,
I'll hear Him say, "This way."
He never tires, He's always there,
I praise His Holy Name.
I hope you let Him guide you too,
He won't leave you the same.
You will no longer wander lost,
You will be shown the way.
You only need to trust in Him,
You'll do this soon I pray.
The reason that I pray for you,
Is that I love you too.
I owe to Him to spread His Word,
He'll share, His Love, with you.

Spring Carol
 
  WHEN loud by landside streamlets gush,
And clear in the greenwood quires the thrush,
With sun on the meadows
And songs in the shadows
Comes again to me
The gift of the tongues of the lea,
The gift of the tongues of meadows.

Straightway my olden heart returns
And dances with the dancing burns;
It sings with the sparrows;
To the rain and the (grimy) barrows
Sings my heart aloud -
To the silver-bellied cloud,
To the silver rainy arrows.

It bears the song of the skylark down,
And it hears the singing of the town;
And youth on the highways
And lovers in byways
Follows and sees:
And hearkens the song of the leas
And sings the songs of the highways.

So when the earth is alive with gods,
And the lusty ploughman breaks the sod,
And the grass sings in the meadows,
And the flowers smile in the shadows,
Sits my heart at ease,
Hearing the song of the leas,
Singing the songs of the meadows.

Robert Louis Stevenson

It will be a pleasure to come back soon; one can never have too much beauty in their life.

Gotta hand it to your mother. She did a lot of singing, and I'm sure you're a better person for it.

I’m sure Scrubita will establish boundaries for Sweet Baby Jay’s explorations:).

Well, I sure hope so! I don't want Sweet Baby Jay turning into a juvenile delinquent. Then I'd have to change his name. LOL

I see these little guys, these sparrows, all over the place when I go out. They are so cute, hopping, chirping, flying a little bit... very busy.

Amazing poem by Robt L. Stevenson.

I’m getting a current 91F reading on Weather Underground for my neighborhood. It’s very humid today also. I don’t think the WU reading on that is accurate, feels like at least 60%....

No A/C here, so blinds closed, fans on, etcetera... doing okay....pant, pant...;^)
