Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Monday, June 10 I enjoy a morning walk on our patio, especially after an evening rain. The Euphorbia (not sure what variety) looked pretty . I bought this last year, not knowing what it was, and not knowing that it was a perennial. I was glad to see it coming to life again this spring. […]
The southern sky looked threatening on Sunday evening. Before long rain was pounding against our windows. Then, just like that, it was over and the sun was shining through our trees. There were lots of rain puddles. This upside down leaf looked beautiful with all the rain drops. Sometimes I am amazed at simple beauty.
Tuesday, August 7 It just felt like a rainbow-kind-of-evening. When I looked to the west, I could see the sun shining through raindrops. As I walked out of our driveway – beyond the trees – with raindrops falling on my head – I was pleased to see a beautiful rainbow. Seeing a rainbow always reminds […]
We had rain every day this week – Saturday through Friday – except yesterday. By this evening Cerwin estimates that we had about ten inches of rain in the past seven days. There were other areas that had much more. There have been many flooded roads and houses with water in their basements. Thankfully our […]
Saturday Morning, April 28
Pictures from early October I love to be reminded at the beginning of each day that “His mercies are new every morning.” I love a rainy morning! It is nice when fall returns, and because of the rotation of the earth and sun, we begin to see sunrises outside our living room window.
Saturday, August 12 This has been a most unusual summer in our area with a downpour almost every week – sometimes more than once a week. As a result, fields are filled with tall corn, beans, potatoes, soybeans – whatever the farmers are growing. Yards are green and need mowing every week – sometimes twice […]
Friday, June 30 and Saturday, July 1 It was a week after our Truck Rally and I was getting caught up on Rally reports for the International Office. Somehow the rain was good therapy for my body, soul, and spirit – following a busy and fun series of weeks. Several weeks ago our grandson Ian […]
Tuesday, March 28 We had a few rainy days this week – Tuesday being one of them. I love a rainy day – as long as I can stay inside. I guess “drippy” is a good description of the day. Then, as always happens, the rain stopped, and the birds came looking for food.
Thursday, March 9 – A rainy day ~~~ Saturday, March 11 – It looked like springtime TI think the migrating geese thought that springtime had arrived. ~~~ Today it is frigid with blowing snow. (Pictures to come in the near future.)
When I saw these two walking around our two-mile block this morning, I thought, “Now that is dedication to walking.”
Friday Evening, October 21 Because of a beautiful evening sky, I walked outside in the rain to get a few pictures. After taking this picture, I turned around to walk toward the house and saw a beautiful rainbow. Then, almost as quickly as it arrived, it was gone. I think it lasted only one or two […]
The last week of July ~~~ July 22 I’d rather see a hummingbird. Hey, squirrel that is my chair. It is so warm these days that the suet is melting. ~~~ July 25 A rain like this in summertime makes farmers smile. It also makes our flowers smile. The sun is shinning and it’s still […]
Three squirrels! Now I know why the bird feeders are being emptied so quickly. Debbie, do you need any more pets! When I noticed that rain was coming, I went outside with my camera and was surprised to be standing in sunshine and hearing the pelting of rain on my brothers’ barn roof just a quarter […]
Tuesday, May 21 Every now and then there is a morning that takes my breath away. This is the area we cleaned up the day before. If you look in the background – just a bit right of center – you can see the remains of the burn pile still smoking. Wet grass I love a […]
Wednesday, May 4 I love a rainy day!
Wednesday, December 2 “I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way she/he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.” Maya Angelou
Tuesday, December 1 One of my favorite rainy day quotes: The best thing one can do when it is raining is to let it rain. I love pretty raindrops on a late fall day.
Thursday, November 19 I love the beauty of a cold, gray, rainy day – when I can stay inside. I guess that makes me a pluviophile – a person who loves rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days. 🙂 I can’t explain it, Rain makes me feel like God has pushed the […]
November 12, 2015 From the Internet:The common phrase “Red sky at morning” is a line from an ancient rhyme often repeated by mariners. Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning I had difficulty believing that this beautiful morning was going to soon turn to rain. However, the red was […]
Friday, August 21 The morning was beautiful – the day after the rain. Raindrops were still hanging to the leaves. Somebody was busy during the night. By evening the sky “called” me to the outside. I couldn’t get enough of this sky. It won’t be many days before this corn will be in storage bins, so […]
Monday, August 17 It was an interesting, very local, quick rainfall. Neighbors less than a mile away didn’t receive more than a few drops while we had a nice afternoon rain – about a quarter inch. The yard was ready for a refresher – and could have used more. I heard a loud noise that I thought was […]
A pretty cardinal An afternoon rain A beautiful orange “blue moon” I love beautiful birds, summer rain, and the moon coming up over a corn field.
Saturday, Afternoon, July 18 After the grandchildren went home from Cousin’s Week, we had a beautiful afternoon shower (we could use one of those rains again). It was a rare sun rain – which means the sun never stopped shining. Then, a short time later, we had a beautiful sunset. I love when it rains […]
May 31 to June 8 Passing storms created some beautiful skies in late May and early June. The birds are enjoying our beautiful warm weather. Getting ready to take off. You again? I thought if I came back on this side of the feeder you wouldn’t find me. Spraying the no-till corn field. Soon we […]
Wednesday, May 27 I don’t always make a big deal out of an afternoon thunderstorm, but we needed a good rain. Oh, yes! I just had to go outside and enjoy the scent of a spring rain. It was bouncing off our driveway. There were muddy puddles in the back yard near the woods. I rarely watch rain coming […]
March 24 to April 2 Spreading manure on the field to our south. Back to the manure pit Then back to the field The crops should grow well this summer! Two days later a rather ominous looking storm came through and made sure the manure was firmly soaked into the soil. The rain didn’t last long, […]
Saturday, March 14Many of you saw robins long before I did. March 14 was the first day for me this year. It was a rainy, cool day which quickly melted the many inches of snow that was on the ground. We left the house in the late morning – to have lunch with Cerwin’s mother. My […]
We have had a lot of cloudy, rainy, snowy days in December. The rain The snow Yes, there are many more pictures of the snow. Snow is so much prettier to photograph.
Tuesday, September 2 I was walking through the garage when I looked outside and thought, “Wow, this could be a nasty storm”, and CRASH this branch landed right outside the entrance door where I was standing. A small branch broke off and landed a short distance away. Because I heard it hit the house, I was […]
