Summer Evening Drives
Beloved, Where ever you live...are you craving milder temperatures? Like about 73 degrees with a gentle breeze blowing. I am. I am. I am.
Last night after we left a memorial service, we drove around the Marion County Lake. The orange sunset was spectacular and I had no camera with me.
I ached. I cannot discribe the beauty. God's creation is spectacular...spectacular.
A glorious sight. Beautiful and peaceful.
We went to my Folk's apartment and visited with loved ones until 9pm.
It's a TRADITION to pick up a bottle of cold Chocolate Milk and a Krueller for the road trip back to HomeHaven. To me it's eye candy to see leaves gently swirling and blowing across the road we're traveling on. Though it was hot out the leaves remind me that Fall will be here in a month. The color orange starts talking to me.
One way for me to cool off from these horribly HOT SUMMER NIGHTS is to take evening drives about the Flinthills. I love this when the sun is about to set and night is creeping in. These pics of Kansas Cows and Horses are from earlier in the Summer. Kansas cows and horses...wish I was a COWGIRL! There I said it...after all these years I want to have a pair of cowboy boots and wear a hat while riding a horse across the wide open spaces on the Prairie as I look out across the rolling hills of Kansas. Wind blowing across my sweaty neck and humming O Give Me A Home Where The Buffalo Roam and The Deer and the Antelope Play...Where Seldom Is Heard A Discouraging Word...and The Skies Are Not Cloudy All DAYYYYYYY...Home Home On The Range...
Happy Week-end Dear Friend,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12
SO
TEACH us
to number OUR days,
that we may apply our HEARTS
unto
WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna

Right there with ya' on the cowgirl stuff! Enjoyed your post today, especially the the pics of the horses and cows...I'm just all about the horses and cows!
We have cooler temperatures this past week, and it is a relief. Your farm photos are lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Oh fun! Love your cowgirl photos from "the range".
Oh, that looks pretty much like where I live! Love the rolling hills of Kansas. Ha! I have to type in "roses" for word verification! Maybe your hubby should bring you roses!
Hi Deanna...I like to take drives too and enjoy the Kansas countryside. We Kansas girls are truly blessed...shhh don't let that secret out. I like that it is a slower pace here.
I liked your pictures. And I am glad you and your sis had a good visit while she was helping out.
I too am looking forward to the orange hues of Autumn...I love it.
Glad Hubby was good to you too my friend, and I too hope that the second surgery will help things to get better and you will feel truly well soon afterward.
I will continue to pray for you.

What beautiful photos! God definitely used His paintbrush in these scenes...
Like you, I did not have my camera with me today...and the skies were spectacular! They were definitely tropical...huge puffy white thunderheads were building, rising to multi-storied heights. But hanging over them and in front was the biggest, blackest cloud I have ever seen. It was an incredible sight!

YES! Cooler weather is here, at least during the evening. Last night I sat on the porch in my nightgown and chenille robe and was quite comfortable. It felt heavenly!
Well, why not don a pair of boots, a hat, jeans, and a checkered shirt with fringe to dance prettily over your bosom as you gallop across the prarie?
Wipe your sweaty neck with a red bandana, and keep on a'singing!
You'd look cute, you would, and Ashley could post a picture for us!
Do it!
Deanna,
My condolences on the loss of your cousin. The pictures you shared are beautiful. God's beauty surrounds all of us and I always enjoy seeing the beauty in blogland from different parts of the world:). Thanks for sharing and for visiting my new blog:).
Blessings,
Kim
Sounds like fun to me.....and I wonder what it is about cowgirl boots that we all want them! I guess I would have to wear cowboy boots since my feet are shaped like a duck's and are very wide in the front. Chocolate milk and krullers (spelling?) --I have forgotten about these but the thought brings a smile!
