Fall Apples, Roadside

Yesterday morning, early, I rolled the garbage can out to the side of the road.

And decided to take a few early-morning, sun-rising fall photos. Of the maple trees. And the fog.

Then I looked west down the road.

And saw the fallen apples.

Fall apples near Hubbard, Oregon
outside the fog line
Fallen apples -- Hubbard
casting shadows near the bridge
blurred beauty
on Whiskey Hill Road’s shoulder
going to waste
fall apples, wasting away

I’m thankful I could see those apples at that time of day in that kind of lighting with that kind of background.

Fed According To….

I just discovered I read the “wrong” Psalm this morning. It was 58’s turn but I read 78.

“So he fed them
according to the integrity of his heart;
and guided them
by the skilfulness of his hands.”

— Psalm 78:72

I’m thankful for that.

But what difference is it supposed to make in my day today?

One Dark, Drizzly Night….

Our two boys (26 and 16) were mowing.

In the dark.

By flashlights.

Racing the rain.

And already in the mist.

Neighbor (53?) heard their mowers.

Investigated.

Returned with his weedeater.

To trim around the headstones.

For they were mowing our church cemetery.

“For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
even in this;
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

–Galatians 5:14

  3. Urie Sharp: Track 3
  4. Urie Sharp: Track 4
  5. Urie Sharp: Track 5

I’m sorry I don’t know how to combine them all into a single mp3 file. (If you want to tell me how to do it, please do!)

Above all, love God!
