I just watched the news.

MORE rain tomorrow!

[Jane Long]

Hi, potlatch! Good to see you. Did you have some nice, cool weather this morning? We sure did here, up the road a piece ;-)

[Jane Long]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

NO more rain!!! Sorry to hear that. Rain does not a Harley day make :)

For a few days, I thought we would need an ark, here in SE TX.

[Jane Long]

Oh....that is one cute pup, Kitty! Thanks for the pic and the ((Hugs, Blessings and Prayers)). Hope you are having a nice evening.

When you ride in 60 mph wind and rain, at 60mph, the resulting raindrops are hitting you at 120mph which is a CAT 2 Hurricane.

It takes quite a bit of the joy and freedom out of ridin’.

Just Sayin’.

[potlatch]

Wow, you’re gonna need, at least, a canoe before long, hehe. I’m having more rain lately but it’s still welcome here. Take care!

[potlatch]

Beautiful day here Jane, the cooler air feels so good and the plants are looking much better, lol.

[Jane Long]

Same here. I got up at 6:30 and waited for the sunrise. Gorgeous. The cool breeze was a blessing on top of that.

This weather makes me want to plant some plants ;-) What are you growing? I was thinking about some fall veggies.

[Jane Long]

You have to grab those riding days when you can get them!! Far and few between.
Now me, I consider those days *sun roof open* days :) Not quite as liberating....but, pleasant just the same.

Heck...it makes the grass green, so I am not complaining.

[potlatch]

You’re right about that, the plants and grass are looking good. We were under water restriction for watering lawns half of the summer!

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Sweet Potlatch! That is the Cutest Gif!

I Hope it Clears Up Soon, Dear Mary! The Stifling Hot Texas Weather has Finally Cooled Here, so I've been Driving my Old Convertible MG this Last Couple of Weeks.
In the Summertime it's Always too Hot to Drive it, and in the Winter the Heater doesn't Work Well.
Thank Goodness Autumn is Finally Here!

(((((Hugs, Sweet FRiend)))))

[Kitty Mittens]

Thank you, Dear Jane! It's been a Good Day, and have Gotten a Lot of Yard Work Done.
The Cooler Weather has Brought an Increase of Birds to the Birdbath, and the Squirrels are Moving Around & Foraging More Here.
I Love Wildlife, but they've been So Scarce throughout the Baking Hot Summer in my Area in Texas.

(((((Hugs!)))))

Autumn is definitely here!

I can feel it in the air...it’s just...”different”. :-)

[MEG33]

This is so darling, Kitty!

The Language Of Whistling
Sept 24, 2014

Read: Zechariah 10:1-8

I will whistle for them and gather them, for I will redeem them. —Zechariah 10:8

Bible in a Year:
Song of Solomon 4-5; Galatians 3

On La Gomera, one of the smallest of the Canary Islands, a language that sounds like a bird song is being revived. In a land of deep valleys and steep ravines, schoolchildren and tourists are learning how whistling was once used to communicate for distances up to 2 miles. One goat herder who is using this ancient language once again to communicate with his flock said, “They recognize my whistle as they recognize my voice.”

The practice of whistling also shows up in the Bible, where God is described as a shepherd whistling for His sheep. This image could be what the prophet had in mind when he described how God will one day whistle to bring a wandering and scattered people back to Himself (Zech. 10:8).

Many years later Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). That may be the whistle of a shepherd. Sheep don’t understand words, but they know the sound that signals the shepherd’s presence.

Misleading voices and distracting noises still compete for our attention (cf. Zech. 10:2). Yet God has ways of signaling us, even without words. By events that can be alarming or encouraging, He reminds us of His guiding, protecting, and reassuring presence.

Father, it is a noisy world. Thank You for
always calling to us above the din and
ruckus that distracts us. Help us to recognize
Your voice and follow Your leading.

The call of God can always be heard.

I appreciate you

Oh! This looks just like my “KATO” sitting next to me!

I do see his hair needs a trim again! Then he will look like that again!
