Against a pink sky

trees turn to black silhouettes

         as evening descends. 

 

And holy smokes - the web page says this is post number 500.  Who would have thunk it! 

 God of us all,
You led Abram and crew through the land where the Canaanites were living.
Did you perhaps mean to suggest that they could share the land?
Could it be that instead of the land belonging to us
in reality we belong to the land?
Could we find ways to live in peace and share the land?
Help us think about other ways to live,
with other people,
and in other lands.
Let your love guide us
instead of our own pride and aquisitive nature.

 Gray skies cleared to blue
with pleasant temps, gentle breeze -
           but there still are BUGS!

as in black flies, mosquitoes, horse flies!

 Right from the freezer,

toasted, with maple syrup -

       a waffle at ten.

Ten PM that is - homemade waffle, crispy, overly sweet, delicious! 

 

 From the radio -

chance of showers, thunderstorms.

      Still dry, still waiting.

 

Still hot! 

Earth's gifts inspire our
grateful reciprocity -

The Wednesday Reading Group talking about Robin Wall Kimmerer's book.  Nice thoughts.

Mom, two kids wading,
Me on the bench eating lunch -
         Lake Superior noon.
