Let us Worship

Columbia River Watershed
 We worshiped in August with Sean Feucht.  I pray we reach the watershed moment.  Waters of repentance, waters of healing, waters of the Holy Spirit.  Elohim, Adonai, let your Spirit flow over this place like a waterfall.

New Stove

Over the past years, we burnt up our stove without a proper propane conversion kit.  Lydia is grateful for a new range for her wonderful baking.  Marshal and I spent an afternoon converting it from natural gas together.  

 

Glimpse of the best move of the summer!

Grandpa's collections came with him to a new home!

Grandpa's friend built him a new house in 2 months with back to back crews that worked like one seamless machine.  Thank you our Heavenly Father, giver of all good gifts, Who provided a window of time between the shut downs and material inflationary costs to give our loving parents a home in our community!

 

Summer Garden

Wintered over my geraniums!

Gardens were wild, growing wildy, and mostly whitely.

Daisy White turning to the sun.

Creator's garden.  His designs are always splendid.  Spray of white yarrow, mullein, daisies.

Garden without a caretaker.

Shade garden lushness.

Sage from a longest, dearest, sagest friend.
