Thankful November

Greetings from NW PA, the new frontier for this girl.

Our first snow fell November 1st, and though it didn't amount to much it was exciting to see it's return. The girls even seemed to be excited as they ran about outside.


After 2 1/2 days of hard rain, I went out one afternoon to snap fall color. The color was amazing. The rain enhanced the land, and I enjoyed snapping away. 

I coudn't get over how bright the color was. I pictured myself at the picnic table enjoying the view.

The water was very high at the dam in town. The color made the walking bridge very attractive.


I enjoyed attending the Gingerbread Tour the first weekend in November. It's an annual event where about 20 shops participate and a number of restaurants. The shops spread much joy and happiness around as visitors walked about.

It was started to focus on the talented artisans in the Sigel-Cook Forest area (about 15 minutes from home). Jerry and I saw the sign below in one of the shops and started laughing. It now hangs in the house. Jerry told me my assignment was "to find out who took the picture." Him and his humor. One of the shops introduced me to a lovely website: wrendaledesigns.com   I love their note cards!

We are definitely snow birds.  
 
I headed out early one morning with heavy frost on the ground. I was headed to the Amish bakery to get some donuts and bread. Five minutes from home I found three cows out of the pasture enjoying freedom. Except the small one. It was scared and started back across the street and slipped on the frosty pavement. 


On my way home a buck ran across the street in front of me and into the field. It stopped to watch me. I got a nice snap of him before he slowly walked away. 


"Let there be light." Genesis 1:3 "Lord God, how these four words speak volumes about Your infinite power and Your absolute sovereignty! I find real comfort and hope in the fact that You are all powerful and totally in control of the universe, of the world's history, and of my journey through life. May those four words keep me mindful that nothing is impossible for You as I face situations that seem impossible to me." Lisa Guest, 100 Favorite Bible Verses

"But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more." Psalm 71:14
