As we were driving to church this week, I kept seeing patches of these black-eyed susans that have lost all their petals. I love the contrast of the dark flowers against the pale, dying grass. Of course we had to pull over so I could try to capture the beauty. This picture doesn’t show exactly how gorgeous it was. Keep an eye out for the unexpected beauty as you’re driving this fall — it’s stunning!
Whew — what a busy week! We spent most evenings working at the Flip House, and had a “work day” all day Saturday – so there were MANY pics of friends and family helping with demolition, tree trimming, uncovering the disgusting pool, etc. We were also able to squeeze in some family time this weekend – so, of course, there were several adorable pics of our precious “P”. However, I decided to share this picture I snapped on our way home from church. After a week like we had, in the midst of all the busy-ness and craziness of life . . . it’s important to notice and appreciate the beauty all around us. It doesn’t get much prettier than this!
I can’t express how much this week’s picture warms my heart! After a wonderful family weekend at the beach – floating in the bay, watching the Blue Angels show, and (of course) pigging out – our little “P” was exhausted. Sunday morning at church, she reached out for Pops, settled into his arms, and promptly fell asleep. He couldn’t hold back the tears, and I can’t hold back the love in my heart for these two!
IS IT JUST ME?
