When morning gilds the sky,
our hearts awaking cry:
May Jesus Christ be praised!
in all our work and prayer
we ask his loving care:
May Jesus Christ be praised!

Safari
This morning, we took a nature walk at the park. We looked for leaves and pretended we were on a safari. We drove around the “game park” looking for animals. We discovered deer, turkey, flying geese, chipmunks and lots of squirrels.
Holly
The neighbors own two barn cats. Often, Holly will come over to visit. Often, while the kids are outside, Holly will walk through the back yard to see what they are doing.
She is not super friendly, but she likes to be around the children. If they don’t try to hug her too much or pick her up, she will hang around the backyard watching them.
The Park
While Adrian learned about bats in class, Audrey and I roamed nearby. The fall colors this year are amazing!
Maple Leaf
Hebrews 12: 1 ESV “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”

Fall is officially here!
Good Morning!
This morning’s fog was beautiful!
Box Turtle
While we were exploring, we discovered an Eastern Box Turtle along the side of a parking lot. They are endangered in Indiana, and we have not seen one in the wild in years. We admired this one for awhile before moving it to a safer place near the woods we had been walking in.
Spider Webs
As Allan left for work, he told me the foggy morning was beautiful. I went out trying to get pictures of the fog, but discovered huge spider webs in the field.
Husky Pups
The neighbor has two husky pups that like to come visit. The kids keep returning them, but the puppies break out of their pen almost every day. They are adorable, so I use them for camera practice.
