it felt like Sunday



My sister came today and we went looking at the autumn coloured trees on roads we never been before. This road side maple alley made me think about human autumn. Both of us are in the later part of it. Each one ages differently, not by our choice. We did not use exactly the same words to enjoy the colourful views, but it certainty was a day as I can remember, we never had together in this country. We both are widows, not feeling like going anywhere alone, it makes the loneliness feel more even if the sights are beautiful; it was. I thank God for having such a day and told her that was the best part of it. The picture might not be the best we saw, but I am still not very familiar what my camera can do and how I should handle it. Anyway, it was a day better than any Caribbean holiday.Tough early couple days, great Thanks Giving Day for me.

Eduard Klassen


I went yesterday to Eduard Klassen's performance at the Clearwater Community Church in Stayner. I just love his performances. He is not only a musician, playing the Paraguayan harp, but he also tells mission stories the way he has experienced them with a joy, thankfulness and humor. One does not have to belong to any particular church to listen to his confessions how he accepted God's presence in all situations.
The hour he performs went by so fast I wished for more. He has the next performance closes here is on the 26th October in Barrie. I'm looking forward to go there. I have been to quite a few of his concerts and amazing how he always comes out with different stories. I have his biography book, but the way he tells the stories they are very entertaining, humorous and makes you think how little we know of God's world.

Plums


There is Nat picking plums in their own backyard. I am glad that there are still people to use the earth for some more productive reasons than just perfect lawn. They are not only good to watch as they grow but also a vitamin supply for winter home made and money saved. Today's children usually have no chance to see were from and how their food gets on the table.
The plums are yummy looking, but Nat is the best looking friend I have. Hope he enjoys the plums.

I did it


This is the third time I am doing it. I accomplished to write this on the second try, but accidentally deleted it. Now I have no more time to repeat all I had written. Just thank you for sending me a flower though only on the Internet.
It did challenge me to write and I did on my haiku card too.

It was hard to get it in this blog. It takes so long to upload.
It is sort of shady day. Once in a while the sun comes out, but like the story tells, the ash tree sprouts the leaves late and sheds them first. Nature tells the weather story, we just don't pay attention to understand it.
This is what I see first thing in the morning as I open my eyes still in bed. Amazing how I got used to whatch that particular tree grow taller and how it reacts for the seasons. It does impress on my mood for the day starting. When the leaves turned yellow it looked beautiful, but the beauty was a begining of the announcement for the autumn. Now it's just a question: when is the first frost appearing?
There is moment in this morning's sight to think about, namely Thanks Giving. I have few people I can't find words how to say thank you good enough. So the best I can do silently thank God for sending them in my life.
I started the course in Photography and that will take some time out of my creative production in writing. The chalenge is trilling. Never too old to learn; keeps me outof mischief.
It took me best part of this day to accomplish this, but it is one step forward and the day was not entirely wasted.
Wow, I made it without grammatical errors too.

still confused

I managed to get the picture I wrote yesterday on.I just could not figure out how to add the text beside or above it without opening a new posting.
The text I was trying to write yesterday was about having a lot of arthritic pain and this registered right away in my mind: why is the end of my life's road so painful? Will there be a Light after the end?
Though the place where I took this picture radiated peace though the walking was rough. Am I dwelling in too mach negative thoughts?
I still like the picture, it is encouraging.
