At the Forest Edge

"My heart is awed within me when I think of the

great miracle that still goes on, In silence round me~

the perpetual work of Thy creation, finished, yet

renewed forever."

I love this view of my backyard, my favorite little corner

the stark of evergreen against the changing colours of

Autumn.

Red Sky At Night, Sailor Delight

On Tuesday evening..we were watching the local news

& the weather man said we could see the Space Shuttle 

@ 6:34 Pm to 6:37 PM ..We went on to

see , but it was so beautiful I had to show

you the evening sky with the tree colors.

We DID see the shuttle, but it was like a star

traveling VERY fast, nothing I could have gotten on the

camera.

Hope you enjoy the pics..to see more

An Autumn Walk

Even the poison ivy looks lovely!!

Show & Tell Friday!!

I missed last week, but I do have something I think is

FUN for this week.  I'm not nutty, I just love

nature !! I got SO excited when I saw this

on my walk to get pictures of all the lovely color

here in the Singing Woods. 

Here's a preview of the trees

on my walk. More to come in the next 

few days.

I had to get close, as it was so awesome in design & so large.

Hanging from a small branch of a small tree, close enough to the

road that I could see it. I was looking for turkey, deer, foxes & special

birds. I thought as windy as the day was they wouldn't hear me coming.

I took pictures of beautiful trees..more to come in a few days. No birds, saw turkey, but

didn't get a picture..no deer or fox.

So here's my find.

Based on what I could find, I believe it's a Baldfaced Hornet's Nest.

It is as big as a laundry basket, with texture that looks like paper.

At the bottom , I could see the hole they used to come & go.

YES, it's still there in the tree..I wasn't ABOUT to touch it..just lil

ole me in the wood by myself?? no way

Enjoy

The Tale of Mums & the Toad

A Tale from the Singing Woods

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful husband, named Prince Rich.

He was so kind,  he brought his most LOVELY wife,  Princess Deena

some potted mums for the front porch.

That evening as Princess Deena was watering the mums, 

she heard a noise.  Not sure what it was, she continued to water

& the noise was heard by the lovely princess two more times.

Then the noise stopped.

The next day, as the princess was passing the front door

she saw something in her pot of mums, and opened the door

to go outside.  This is what she saw. The toad had come

home with the mums & made the strange noises when he

got wet. 

The moral of the story is you don't have to kiss a toad

to have a Prince of a husband.

Love to my dear hubby

Fondly, Deena

PS, I love the TOAD too!!

Tis Show & Tell Friday~ My LOVELY rocker

My new "olde" rocker. My bestest ever friend, Marcia

gave this to me on Wednesday. It belonged to her parents, but it looks

so nice in my room!! Marcia said her mama told her she was given

the rocker when she had her baby..cuz mama's are suppose to

rock their babes.

I can't believe her mom said  I could own  it.

It's a lovely velvet, with wonderful wood,  carving at the top & it folds up too.

Oh I love it dearly, but not nearly as much as I love my sweet

friend Marcia, she's my rock, next to God & my hubby.

I know it's mature( the rocker) ..I think it was mature  when it was given as a

 present OVER 50 years ago. 

When I showed my husband ..he sat in it ...rocked a bit and 

said "it's not really a manly chair"...LOL, I told him..it's NOT for 

you silly!!!
