White Wednesday...

white autumn clematis...
in my neighbor's yard...
for years I have wanted some of that...
and this year I have it!
it has come up all by itself in one of our large evergreen shrubs...
the days here are cool and the nights even cooler...
we are in the 40s at night and didn't get out of the 60s today...
the sun is coming up later and it's dark before 7:30...
watching summer waving goodbye...
Happy White Wednesday!
Have a blessed week...

the window from which we look...

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, The young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said.
"She doesn't know how to wash correctly. 
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry,
The young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
Nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
"Look, she has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this."
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and
Cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others
Depends on the purity of the window through which we look!
got this in an email this morning...
I thought it was pretty darn good...

how can we see anything in others, unless it is in us first?
have a great day...
