it's here...

39 last night...
windchill...
yeah, you heard right...
wind chill of 35...
when summer lifts her skirts...
fall steps in...
every time...
bitter sweet knowing the joy they brought...
and knowing their days are numbered...
and the countdown has begun...


DH just spent 3 days on jury duty...
it was a sex offense against a minor...
the man was convicted...
the child was mentally challenged...
my sweetie came home and cried...
he couldn't talk about it before the trial was over...
all I knew was that it was bothering him a lot...
how can people do that to children?
he wanted to know...
the lack of God...
was my only answer...

please remember this child, the family, and the man convicted in your prayers...
only God knows what they all need...

we have had a beautiful sunny day here...
and it warmed up enough to venture out with a hoodie...
the days are so short and getting shorter every day...

Have not stopped by in a while. I just had to tell you how wonderful you fall pics are...... We live in such an evil world and yes, God is the answer. Blessings!

I'm sitting here snuggled into a blanket on my loveseat....with cold toes and a cold nose. Yeah...autumn has arrived....and winter is nipping at it's backside. ugh....I'll have to start counting the days til Sanibel pretty soon. :)

What a heartbreaking day your hubby had, Tete. I will keep him - and that poor child - in my prayers for sure. May they all be comforted. ♥

I am keeping your hubby in my prayers because that is something that will never leave him now. Our whole country needs our prayers now especially. So sad.

We hear that a lot these days.. That is a terrible thing to do to kids today. It is cool here in WNY and I am not ready for fall and winter. BRR! I guess that what make the world goes around.
Have a good weekend.
