August/Summer Thrills...

 Glimpses of inspiration in no particular order...

Flower- bouquets...



backyard getaways...


Leaf-jewelry, the kind that drips and glimmers in the sun...



The belly of the sky, bulging with clouds ready to break
And then they do, and oh what lovely music raindrops make...

(first video is a humorous look at what happens when I try to record something😅😂)




sorry if you get a bit sea-sick on this one...


Ps.85:12
The LORD will indeed give what is good,
 and our land will yield its harvest.

The pure and undefiled delight of watching gardens grow/glow
The stillness of a starry night, a fresh-brewed cup o’ joe
Or Windsong wafting through treetops flushed with first light of day
Or twilight softly falling blue, and brushing day away
Or splendor of the heavens as they declare faithfully
Without a word, God-given glory for the world to see

A brand-new day not tasted yet, but bursting at the seams
With moments we have never met to whet fresh hopes and dreams
The fortune, oft forgot, of commonplace workaday beat
The pleasure of a great big pot filled with good things to eat
The belly of the sky, bulging with clouds ready to break
And then they do, and oh what lovely music raindrops make

The readiness of laughter to combat life’s kick and punch
The sparrow’s friendly chatter, first-tomato-on-toast lunch
Leaf-jewelry, the kind that drips and glimmers in the sun
The air, pungent with pickling spice when pick-scrub-slice is done
Flower bouquets and backyard getaway with book and tea
The sense that every summer day is special as can be

The felled field, bowls brimming with holy answers to our prayers
The ever-earlier dimming of day, goldenrod flares
Where roadside August-arboretums humbly steal the show
Sunflowers beam, peaches and plums drip, joy-cups overflow
Composing hymns of thankfulness for gifts that August/summer spills
To kindle simple happiness that thrills and thrills and thrills

Wishing you a whole new day of beautiful August thrills!
I'm off to the not so thrilling task of much-needed sticky-floor scrubbing😅
