Thursday

Yesterday I

had an early shower,

enjoyed coffee and a christian morning program

visited with my niece

ordered take out for an enjoyable lunch with mom and niece

had a luxurious nap (ssshh, I had more than one ☺)

made an early dinner

visited with mom and one of her friends

who came over bearing delicious red apples

mended mom's red sweater

and turned up the sleeves of her red fleecy housecoat

and hemmed her seafoam green dress.






It was a good day and I wasn't too rushed.

Now I'm feeling the shortness of time before I have to return home.

It has been a good visit and a lot of things got done that we don't
usually have time to do. As well, we had some nice chats.
Something I need to cherish more.

Joy xx

Glorious Sunset

¹The heavens declare the glory of God;

and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Psalm 19 (KJV)

I was researching a venue on line tonight for a Christian women's retreat that I am hoping to attend early next month in Niagara Falls, Ontario (more on that later).

As I was telling mom about the virtues of the hotel where I have booked my room, she let me know that the sky was red so I "ran" to see out the patio.



I took these photos.



I think they turned out rather well despite the fact that the tallish trees across the street block out a better view. The trees in the photo above are a type of coniferous trees. Coniferous trees do not lose their leaves during winter and they grow "cones". I have even seen though smaller pine trees in Kenya which was rather surprising to me but it turns out there is a fantastic arbour in Kericho where there are numerous foreign plants and trees. That was a delight to see amongst other things in my visit there.

The photo below shows the cones from a coniferous tree down the street. You will see a lot of it's cones have dropped to the ground.





In the photo above is a young deciduous tree. This one will lose its leaves before the winter snows fly and return again by Spring.



Ah, God's glorious handiwork.

It always is a moment of bliss when I see such marvellous works.
