'Tis the season...
I bought a can of pumpkin the other day, rather than buying a whole real pumpkin, which would probably rot on the porch since it's still so warm here...and I asked hubby if he would prefer some Pumpkin Bread, or a Pumpkin Pie...and so you see what he requested above.
I usually try to hold off baking pumpkin pies until closer to Thanksgiving so we don't burn out on them, but since he asked so sweetly, how could I refuse?
My can of whipped cream was getting a bit empty, so it looks rather puny on top of these pieces of pie, but it was still good.
Lucy Goosey approves. Yes, she's flying around the house these days. No telling where she'll end up next. I just listen for her special "Honk". (That's Goose Talk for Hello, Here I am!)
We've been promised a lot of rain this week, and so these clouds that were rolling in this afternoon looked pretty promising...
I could hear the thunder rolling in the distance, so we brought Blackie in the house and waited for the storm to arrive.
It finally got here and came down pretty good for a few minutes, and then it went on its merry way.
Meanwhile, as I was trying to take pictures at the back door, this is what I was contending with...
Someone absolutely LOVES my shoes...
He makes it impossible for me to go anywhere!
So I just let him enjoy snuggling up to my shoes for a few minutes, as long as he doesn't nip at my ankle bones, which does occasionally happen when he gets carried away with the excitement of chewing on my shoes! The things we put up with for the love of a kitty cat! Gotta love him....
He looks like he's in kitty heaven. You should hear him purring! What a sweetheart!
Speaking of hearts...this was on the back porch a while ago when I went back outside to try and take some more pictures...
I call it a little God Wink...a message of Love sent from heaven to earth to bless my day.
"The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;"
Jeremiah 31:3
It was supposed to rain again at 6:00, but it's now 6:30, and this is how it looks:
Time will tell if we get any more rain tonight...almost an inch was forecasted for today, and we barely got a teacup full. But the night's not over yet...it still says more rain is on the way in the next couple of hours, so we shall see.
And no, I didn't get that garden bed weeded yet. Scott didn't come down today because we had a meeting after church and so he said he'd come next week. It doesn't look too bad from up here on the porch! LOL.
Here are some good things to remember from God's Word for today...
Psalm 18:30-32
"As for God, His way is perfect;
The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
31 For who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength,
And makes my way perfect."
I pray that God will arm you with the strength that you need for this week...and that you will know that He is making your way perfect. God's Word is true and is "proven"...and "He is a shield for all who trust in Him." When we place our trust in the LORD, He will provide all the protection and strength that we need. Those are some good promises to us as we keep our eyes on Him. Amen.
Have a blessed and beautiful week.
