Springtime in Michiana

Spring has finally come to the midwest.  After covering this part of the country with layer upon layer of beautiful white snow, God has now used His paint brush, dipped into the most amazing color palate, and reminded us again of His great glory.

 

Let me share with you what I see from my little temporary corner of the world.

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't resist snapping this interesting old, gnarled tree trunk.  Don't you wish it could talk?

 And who would expect to find a bed of LSU tulips in Northern Indiana?

 

Yes, the Creator is still creating the most amazing blessings.  We just need to see them.

Fall, A Summers Wave Goodbye

It has been a while since I have had time to spend on blogging and I've missed it.  So, it is good to again join friends who also meet up with Carissa for Miscellany Monday.

Hubby and I spent a couple weeks up in the Midwest with our son and his family.  You saw pictures of this precious family on my last post.  We left 90 degree weather in northwest Louisiana in early September to enjoy much cooler temps in the north.  I love Fall and we were introduced to it while there.  But, what a shock to go from 37 degrees 6:30 on Sunday morning in Mishawaka, IN to 94 in Shreveport, LA at 9:30 p.m.

But, that being said, this weekend has been wonderful as Fall as arrived in full where we live.  So, I thought I would share with you some pictures of things Fall that I have seen and also the fall look I have brought to my little home.

Hubby and I visited a produce cart near our son's house and I loved the colors and arrangement of this neat "honor system" business.

 This past Monday, I introduced Hubby to the huge Whole Foods Market in Baton Rouge.  I don't think I have ever seen such an assortment of pumpkins.  Don't you love these colors?

 Although I do not usually redecorate my home for the different seasons/holidays, I do like to add a few fall touches.

 
A fallen leaf is nothing more
than a summer's wave good bye.

Good bye Summer!
