| My kitchen window immediately looks over a parking lot but there are many things to see beyond that. Today the huge rainy storm clouds continually swept across the sky, rain pelted down in waves and sheets and washed old wooden houses in my neighborhood. I like to watch the wind waving the tall evergreens and other trees in all directions. |

I Love this post . . . I found a greeting card years ago that now sits in my kitchen window.
"Gazing out the window while rinsing the morning dishes, she chased her thoughts in circles, until they escaped through the screen and onto the mulberry tree. From a distance they actually made sense."
One of my greatest joys is watching "life" outside my kitchen window while I'm "chasing my thoughts . . "

Jonni! I think you just wrote a Haiku! Love it! I know you're not sad about the Rose of Sharon bushes, either!!! LOL!

That's what I see out my kitchen window. RAIN. I have seen rain for weeks now. Also a huge amount of worthless chickens and guineas and 5 bucks and my 2 cows. I can hear my 4 goat girls wanting to be milked but that will have to wait now. But it sure is green out there. And brown.

I did, Janice!!! And, funny enough, I still count the words on my fingers like our teacher, Ms. Cook, taught us :)
Yep, not feeling too bad about those Rose of Sharon bushes...AT ALL!
Sunny forcast for Burlington on Sunday, though!!!

Hmm, I don't actually have a kitchen window as that part of the house is underground, but since the sink is in the island I get to look out the living room windows. South facing and tall. Right now, mom's car is parked in my drive reminding me mine has to go to the shop tomorrow. The cats are racing across the lawn and the sky is a clear fall blue. I can smell the crispness from here.

I look out my window and it's a dismally grey and rainy day. The leaves are dropping pretty rapidly and the colors aren't as colorful this year...all the rain, I guess. There's a squirrel underneath the dogwood tree, eating fat berries that fall from the tree. He looks pretty content, gorging himself.

Two windows here. Right window: two other manufactured homes across the street, my ornamental pear tree, stop sign, street signs for the intersection. Left window: home next door.

...our compost bin, a line of oak trees, the hammock between the two big oak trees & past the tree line, on my neighbor's property, the sugarcane is being harvested.
She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
Proverbs 31:16 |

...today, I got the chance to gaze out my kitchen window again. I had been sick recently and had no energy to stand and gaze. I spied at my Golden Goddess bamboos. I remember planting them four years ago. They were busting and splitting the pots at the nursery. We gave them space... now those girls are gracefully swaying in the wind, tall and full they are. My eye candy of the day!

I see out my kitchen window this morning that my new recycling bucket has been delivered. Now this makes me happy - since the other one suddenly disappeared!

I spy with my little eye a dingy paved parking lot and buildings on the horizon. That's the life of a rural city girl.
Do not be dismayed however, as my sweetheart and I dream of owing a wee plot of our own someday, when we can get a real dog and maybe some chickens!? I'd be in heaven! Until then, I've been blessed in many other ways and hold fast to those blessings!
For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

| I spy two fat little piggies romping in the field, two kittens scampering across the lawn chasing leaves, fields, pastures and a tree lined creek. |

I spy 2 fawns and a mama deer on my front lawn eating cherry tree leaves. Beyond the pavement of our street is a wood, with a ravine, where the deer live. Some people on my street don't like the deer because they like to eat their bedding plants. I don't mind them at all. One morning they did scare me a bit. I was headed out the door at 6 am, still half asleep. After I locked the door, I turned around to see 5 sets of eyes staring at me! Wasn't expecting that so early in the morning. Got my adrenaline going, that's for sure!

My neighbors compost covered in nastursiums.
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Fresh, FRESH snow on the peaks of the LaPlata peaks, part of the San Juan range of the Rocky Mountains!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! This would actually be at least the 4th time in the last month they've gotten new snow.
EARLY WINTER!!
