Someone from Colorado offered to send me some of their water from the flooding, lol.
Eek...I don’t know if you want that much!
A man on tv this morning said that before he fled the raging water, he glanced over at his neighbor's yard, and the man was rapidly building an ARK!

Spread all over Texas it would sink right into the cracks in the ground, lol.
Methinks he waited too late, lolol.
Ease your back and Sweet Dreams Meg.
Oh, I love this, yorkie. Thank you for that beautiful angel graphic. I’ve never seen one quite like that before. So pretty.
Didn’t think I’d ever get back to the computer today but finally made it. Hope your Sunday was lovely!!
I have been hearing about the rains in Colorado on the news....its been terrible!!
Love that scripture, Jaidyn. And the sparrow is telling the world. “His eye is on the sparrow so I know he watches me.”
Beautiful graphic, potlatch. Thank you!

Autumn is the only thing i miss about new England!
It’s my favorite season...sometimes we have one and sometimes we go straight from summer one day to winter the next. All the leaves just turn black and fall off the trees at once...fwump!
In Florida, there are trees that are covered with purple flowers that look like orchids. these fall off the trees while they are still purple and give off an amazing perfume. When Lynn-Dah and I take our little walk, it is as if our path has been strewn with flowers (like we are ROYALTY or something!)
How lovely that must look! Do you know the name of those trees? Probably won’t grow here, though...in the desert... :)
Orchid Tree
The orchid tree (Bauhinia spp.) has orchid-like blooms that are 3 to 4 inches across and can be pink, purple, white, yellow and red. It can be deciduous, semi-evergreen or evergreen and may flower year-round. Orchid trees grow to 25 to 30 feet tall with a 25- to 30-foot spread. The crown, or top, of the tree is rounded and the tree has an overall vase shape. The fruit appears as a 6- to 12-inch brown pod that does not attract wildlife. This tree needs part sun to full sun and can be grown in clay, loam, sand, slightly alkaline, acidic or well-drained soils. It is drought-tolerant and moderately tolerant of salt in the air.
The wood of this tree tends to be weak and subject to breakage. It must be pruned for vehicle or pedestrian clearance in most applications. It is considered a high-maintenance tree.
The orchid tree is hardy in USDA Plant Hardiness zones 9B to 11.

The pictures are lovely from that site! “High maintenance” would turn my hubby off from wanting to try it. LOL!
Thank you. I assume you know the song?
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
(He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
(He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
(He watches me)
He watches me
I know He watches me
