Good Foggy Saturday Morning to you! This foggy view of Still Waters Pond is a lot like my brain this morning...LOL. Didn't sleep well because of various reasons...too much going on here in the house with this flooring job...body aches and pains...typical stuff that keeps a mind awake when it should be sleeping...
So as I started typing this I looked back outside at the fog on the pond and thought to myself that it looks like it is even getting foggier. So I decided to go take another picture...and again, God's timing is always perfect:
You can just barely see them in this picture above...Mr. and Mrs. Sand Hill Crane were taking off from the marsh island to head out for the day's explorations elsewhere! I am so glad I kept snapping pictures:
Because if I hadn't have gone out there at that precise moment, I would have missed this!!! I didn't even know they were still out there! There were being perfectly quiet, which is something for Sand Hill Cranes!
So, this lovely event has helped to awaken my foggy brain and get me up and at 'em, because today is going to be another busy, but happy day!
Like Mr. and Mrs. Sand Hill Crane, we must be up up and away! The floor installers will be arriving around 8 a.m. to hopefully finish up the floors today. However, last night we realized we are running short of the flooring material, and one box was damaged, so with a last minute before the store closes phone call to see if they still have more of this particular product (thank the Lord, they do!), it was determined that we would drive into town (15 miles) to pick up extra and exchange the damaged one so the men can keep working.
These are the scenes from yesterday's work in our great room
And here is how it was left last night when they left at 9:00 p.m.:
Today they will tackle my "Room With A View", where I am presently sitting typing this post to you. As soon as I hit "publish", I must disconnect the computer and get a move on! Oh, and don't forget, our friend Linda and her hubby Dave are coming today and we will have lunch with them! I had hoped to be able to show her a finished floor project, but I'm afraid that won't be quite the story yet...
So, without further delay, I must say good day!
Oh, here is where we've been spending our waiting hours...in the guest room, watching TV. That's my little "bear bear" watching with us. He was a gift from hubby when I had surgery last year, and he has become a sweet sleeping companion ever since. LOL.
And this was the sunset last night:
Psalm 113 says it best:
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down
The Lord’s name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations,
His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 That He may seat him with princes—
With the princes of His people.
9 He grants the barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.
Praise the Lord!
Beautiful photos of the pond, it is foggy here too. Your floors are looking good the color is very nice.sent up a quick prayer for you this morning for calm during renovation and it sounds like you will enjoy a nice day with friends. Enjoy! (forgot to hit Google acct it is betty, haven't had my coffee yet!)
ReplyDeleteI am putting this in capital letters WE ARE NOT COMING OVER TO LOOK AT YOUR HOUSE. LOLOLOLOL---we are coming over to spend time with you and get my Dixie fix in. We will be there, unfort. we are still sitting here having coffee and its near 8 am. smiles.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you captured the cranes, so beautiful. Your new floor are beautiful too, and I'm SO glad you're meeting up with Linda and Dave...love it, have a nice time!
ReplyDeleteWe stood outside and watched the sunset last night too. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeletePam: We were supposed to have snow this morning, however, I have not looked outside yet. I found an email I needed to read, actually a video I felt I needed to watch. I didn't realize the Sand Hill Cranes could fly. I enjoyed the picture of the Cranes being airborne. Praise the Lord for your workers. They put in a long day. Peace and blessings.
ReplyDeleteIt is coming right along and looking great! I often wonder why every.single.thing. must have a problem. Glad that you were able to replace the damaged box of material.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with Linda and Dave. 🙂
I just love the fog, it really adds a special dimension to photos! Prayers all goes well today, but wow! It's looking amazing already! You are going to be so thrilled once it's all done!! Say hello to Linda and y'all have a wonderful visit!
ReplyDelete'Gotta say, you two sure make the best out of a sticky situation! The image of those cranes taking flight is indeed, in a word, inspiring. Like that wonderful song lyric, I will praise Him in the storm. Wishing you a beautiful day and great visit with our friends!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet that bear bear helps you watch TV. 😊
ReplyDeleteI love the new flooring!
And how incredible are those sand crane photos?? Totally God.
Love it…you will be so happy…beautiful day here today…we had a little storm this week. We live on the ocean…I could not handle Florida heat if not at the ocean…this area has not been hit by a major hurricane in 100 years…I am trying to stay positive having endured storms in South Carolina and blizzards in Ohio, WV, and InDiana…not to mention tornadoes…living here is paradise…year round…love it…palm trees on my little ti y yard at the little condo…have a good weekend…love your new floors…
ReplyDeleteYour floors are beautiful! And it will be worth it when it's over . . . Love the foggy pictures, too. Blessings and have fun with Linda from Florida.
ReplyDeleteThe wood floors are so nice.
ReplyDeleteThose photos are amazing - I’m glad the cranes are back.
Absolutely love the fog photos, Pamela, and your floors are coming along so beautifully. Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with Linda and Dave today!
Pam, I just love the color of the flooring you chose!! It looks so good and I just know you are going to love it! The sandhills in flight is a brilliant photo!! God is good indeed!! Nice that you got to spend time with Linda and Dave today! I hope when they get settled, I might entice them to visit in Lakeland one of these days! You and John, too!! Have a blessed weekend and I sure hope the workers finish the floors today! xo
ReplyDeleteDon't you love the way the Lord gives us precious little moments throughout each day? Your floors look beautiful! I've been told the inconvenience now will all be worth it when it's done! Good for you for getting it done!
ReplyDeleteThat flooring is going to be beautiful! Hope they are able to finish today. I would imagine being "guests" (in the guestroom) of your own home losing its excitment quickly!:) Beautiful morning photos!!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have a beautiful floor when they are done. I really like the color you chose. The cranes and sunset are both beautiful. What a wonderful photo to catch!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Beautiful photos and wonderful progress on the floors which are looking great!
ReplyDeleteYour new flooring is beautiful. What a huge project this is but once it's all done and everything back in place, it will be great! I'm glad you have been able to do this.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good amount of fog. Sorry about your aches and pains, I'm still going through that too. It's so frustrating. Glad you were able to pick up the extra flooring. The flooring looks so beautiful. Love the photos of the sky too!
