it's cooler...

and the feel of fall is here along with the look...

we went for a walk after lunch...

with the wind blowing, it's a bit nippy...

so take a look at our fall...

morning glories climbing a guide wire...

and the clouds are here today...

we did get some rain last night...

a touch of yellow amid the green...

back home things are still blooming...

but it's not for long...

this pot looks better every year...

it's not quite time for spooks...

but Doofus spooks easily...

Steve started the van...

he's our real scaredy cat...

enjoy the afternoon...

Who is your hero?...

we spend so much time each day reading newspapers, magazines and tabloids...

we want to know everything about every body...

what are they wearing, who are they dating,  what movie will they be in next...

but how much time do we really spend reading about the most amazing hero of all time?...

the one hero in our lives that really matters?...

the one who only asked us to learn of Him?...

to follow Him?...

to lean on Him?...

and only through Him will we meet the Father...

how much time do we spend planning vacations that are fleeting?...

would we leave home without our GPS?...

we all know the routine...

everything from hair, nails, mail, suitcase, tickets...

and we all know the departure times and arrival times...

and we still end up going half crazy just to relax...

but there's a bigger trip ahead of us all...

and we don't know the times...

it could be anytime...

any day...

any moment...

any breath...

are we ready?...

when I go...

I want the map I leave behind to look  like this...

and that who my hero was mattered...
