Wellspring...

We visited friends at their cottage last night, 

a great few hours of refreshment blessed by God- art and fellowship

(and I didn't bring a camera!!!)oh well,

Here are a few shots from Thurs. afternoon with Melissa home.

We threw a quilt over an old table, dragged tea, books and chairs to the back yard and

enjoyed everything simple in a home-sweet-backyard haven)

Ah Earth, glossed with four season’s worth of wonder, you and I

Enamored and enchanted by God’s art on sod, sea, sky

Oppression of things human would drain us of grit and vim

But for constant reminders of the kind goodness of Him

Hope plants within our bearing both contentment and appeal

For earth also grants agonies only heaven can heal

Where we, in constant hunger for more than the taste of bread

Drink from the well of wonderment beneath and overhead

He pairs the wind and willow for a serenade, my love

Dusk’s air is like a pillow full of almost-diamond trove

And we are always willing to be awed by old things new

The handiwork of God, a glorious gift to me and you

This is the day the Lord has made; ah, what an honest face

Unfolds from bud to flower where night melts in morn’s embrace

...as we, if we are honest are so often put to shame

By nothing more than butterflies and gardens without blame

Jim and I…well, Jim anyway, talked about building barns, finances, interest rates, Trump, industry

and gout in his foot(everything from soup to nuts) etc…

while I wrote (tried to write this)…lol! (the price of sleeping in on a Sat.)
