It took a long time this summer for these Mallows 
to grow and bloom, and now they just don't want 
to quit!

For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 
The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, 
and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

Do not be afraid 
of those who kill the body
 but cannot kill the soul.
Rather, be afraid 
of the One who can destroy 
both soul and body in hell.

Not good looking corn, but still there is 
corn in the field waiting to be picked.

Which of you, if his son asks for bread, 
will give him a stone? 
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
 If you, then, though you are evil,
 know how to give good gifts to your children,
 how much more will your Father in heaven 
give good gifts to those who ask Him!
Matt. 7:7-8

Started splitting wood yesterday and found a couple of 
these huge grubs! 
I think they weren't too happy with me disturbing
there happy little home!!
 
The second baby set is finished!! 
Exactly the same as the first set,
except this one was worked in a 
colorway called 'Blue Tones'. 


No one can serve two masters.
Either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one 
and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and Money.
Matt. 6:24

Show me your faith without deeds,
and I will show you my faith by what I do.
You believe that there is one God.

Even the demons believe that-
and shudder.

The perfect fall weather days are few and far
between, but they sure are fabulous when we get them! 
 

Just LOOK at these FABULOUS,
WONDERFUL children's sweaters that were 
crocheted by Doris!! 
Each one is worked differently and each one is
absolutely beautiful! 





Do you think Scripture says without reason 
that God jealously longs
 for the spirit that He made to live in us?
James 4:5

Mrs. Cardinal 
enjoying the sunflower heads. 

Some FANTASTIC sets! 
THANK YOU, DORIS!! 


You do not have, because you do not ask God.
When you ask, you do not receive, 
because you ask with wrong motives,
that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
James 4:2-3

This praying mantis was on the back deck
waiting for us when we took a break

Anyone, then, who knows 
the good he ought to do
 and doesn't do it, sins.

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged 
by the law that gives freedom, 
because judgment without mercy 
will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. 
Mercy triumphs over judgment!

I generally prefer COLOR photos....

  
but I am beginning to enjoy some B&W photos.....

or sepia.
Each has its own unique feel, personality.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for He who promised is faithful.

Sunflower heads.
The birds are loving them!
 

Knit Baby Set. 
A commissioned set ordered from a lady
whom I've never met. Although I did knit up a 
couple of baby sets for her a few years ago, through
a friend. This is the first of two sets that she has asked for. 
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn
in Peruvian Print. 
The blanket was worked on the diagonal. I used 2
skeins to increase, then 2 skeins to decrease. It 
ended up a 36" square. 
I can't say where to find the pattern for the pants, booties or hat 
because I don't know. 



Keep your lives free from the love of money
and be content with what you have.
Heb. 13:5

By faith we understand that the

so that what is see was not made
out of what was visible.

Can't believe the forsythia is still trying to bloom!
Even as the leaves are turning a brilliant color of red!

crocheted hat. 


Without faith it is 
impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to Him must
believe that He exists
and that He rewards 
those who earnestly seek Him. 
Heb. 11:6

Just as man is destined to die once,
and after that to face judgment,
so Christ was sacrificed once
to take away the sins of many people.
