I just love reading all the comments and your responses but am heading out of town tomorrow so don't have time to read it all! all I know is that this was a beautiful post, full of your love for the Lord and I really appreciated it... loved your song, and loved Riley joining you on your lap! She must have know something special was happening at that moment... same with Miss Sassy! Congrats on the new phones.. I wish I had one, if only for the great pictures the new smart phones take these days. I ALWAYS want a camera handy, but many times I didn't take it with me in the car.. an easy to carry camera would be so great. Mine is smallish but still can't carry it everywhere with me. I hope your smoke has cleared away.. ours has for now with some winds and even rain. I read your more recent post (haven't commented yet) and notice you had your freeze! I am still waiting for ours! Your visitors looked so sweet.. the big toad probably enjoyed his feasts of the summer! Oh... and how wonderful to have a horse nearby.. I've owned horses since I was 13..... almost all the years from then until I was about 60 and I surely do miss them. They are a very special breed of "friend". Hugs..

Your wildlife friends and four-legged friends cracked me up. I thought that little frog in the birdhouse was a BIRD at first. Sneaky little guy thinking NO one would think to look for a frog in a birdhouse.

I can in my mind's eye see you, with your faithful Riley on your lap, singing the words to your song. Yay for smartphones. I think your shots captured with your phone are lovely. Are they grainy?? They look perfect to me; but then I am no photographer. =) Yes, the simple things in life always fill my heart with joy. I don't know how many times I find myself in my garden thinking upon and being grateful for the simplicity of every day. How lovely for you to have such a lovely garden. A beautiful place in which to pray and reflect with the Father. Those times are so very special. I always am reminded of the quote "Time began in a garden."As always, lovely Marilyn, your post has cheered my soul and made my heart smile.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-55655304955563635892017-09-15T20:11:12.449-07:002017-09-15T20:11:12.449-07:00Hello,

But most of all I love that you spent that time in prayer and song, praying for us here in the path of Hurricane Irma...your prayers were answered at least for us. I know many had a much worse time and still are suffering the results, but God is with them and will bring them through. We were spared the very worst of the storm even though it was still quite scary listening to the wind howling through the trees all night long. There is a lot of tree damage in our woods...but none on or around our house...Praise GOD!! We were w/o power for 3 days, but God took such good care of us. We are just so thankful and can't give Him enough praise. I love your song. It is perfect in every way. Love the squirrel and Riley...so special. Thank you for this post. I'm just reading it now as I didn't have my internet for several days and missed so much...but so thankful for how God was with us in this storm. I praise Him!!!!Pamela M.

Your garden looks wonderful, and loved seeing those huge sunflowers, and wow, that gigantic toad! Amazing how that smoke travels. My mom in Denver said they had fallout from the fires, too.<br />I think it is so special that you write hymns.

Cool weather is on the horizon and I have been getting busy trying to tear my garden out. Last year I didn't get it all done and the old plants where a mess to clean up and clear in the spring. I have the old pick-up loaded and will be going to the dump today . . . it will probably take about four trips total. I call our little hobby farm my gym membership, it is how I get my workouts, LOL. <br />Have a sweet day . . . I would love to be sitting in one of those chairs out in your garden watching the squirrels play and visiting. <br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-76567165980771072112017-09-13T18:19:27.127-07:002017-09-13T18:19:27.127-07:00Oh Marilyn, as always, your posts are just so beau...Oh Marilyn, as always, your posts are just so beautiful and they fill my heart with so much joy!
