The Bennie said you need a new camera and this is it. He is so sweet or over come with Monday after black shopping day.

The technology of today can be very difficult to learn. You would think just point and shoot. But to get the computer and camera to work together was confusion, there are a collection of things I may not learn to use. The word

(CYBE-SHOT ) is scary. Could it be a sign of age?

The morning after the snow

Just look how the camera picked up the snow, wonder of wonders.

Today is cold but the sunshine is bright.

The weather man is telling us we may see some snow flake's today.

But it is much rain for pass 3 days, it has gotten cold.

What better way to pass the after holiday blues then do a fun puzzle.

Stay warm and happy!

Contempt

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.

Psalms 123: 3, 4

The Holly Tree

As, when all the Summer trees are seen

so bright and green,

The Holly-leaves their fadeless hues display

less bright then they,

But when the bare and wintry woods we see,

What then so cheerful as the Holly Tree?

To all my blog friends and more:

Our little friend the Rueous-Sided Towhee is back for a visit. He shows up in spring and back around December, he is a little early .

One last look at the beautiful Trees, to soon it will change to a different beauty of snow and ice.

We are having much rain last night and today .

Will get the tea pot out and my book.

I seam to have a fading memory about what I was to blog about today. So I can tell you ,I got my new 2012 inspirational calender.

And this is what it looks like around here now.

The voice of the Lord----strips the forest bare; and in His temple everyone says, "Glory" (Psalm 29:9 )

Now that is wonderful!

Secure

Though danger lurks on every side,

In Christ our Lord we will abide;

Our God is strong, our hope is sure--

In Him alone we are secure!

By Fitzhugh From "Our Daily Bread"

Thought

Due to its resemblance to a face, the name pansy is derived from the French word pen'ee meaning "thought". Also varieties that grow sometime look as though they are nodding forward in thought. The flower's meaning tends to be "you're in my thoughts".They maybe food for the rabbits now but they will come back in the Spring.

And to see them bright like little sun shine in the dark cold winter is joy.

Thank You Veterans!

Ready for winter and the cold winds that blow.

But this Knock -out rose bush just keeps on giving.

A friend sent me this Country Woman magazine and it had a nice story "Quilting Bee" about my favorite author of the Elm Creek Quilts novel's.

Jennifer Chiaverini

This was her last book The Aloha Quilt

Her new book is out and I wrote about it on My Reading List

It is" The Wedding Quilt."

The flower of the month of November is the lovely Chrysanthemums.

And we had three that bloomed in the month of November.

Happy Birthday!

I have been thinking about the word COMPROMISE-----

To compromise is to make a deal. Extremism is often considered as an antonym to compromise, which, depending on context may be associated with balance,tolerance. In the negative connotation, compromise, referring to a surrender of objectives, principles or material.

Do you think we have compromised our country into a radical social and economic structure?

Have you seen the new rose for 2012? It is called Sunshine Daydream.

This is a best seller in the Southeast Belinda's Dream. It looks good enough

to eat!

Have a happy November 1st day
