Full Moons and Cotton Fields in South Georgia

Each day now as the farmers are defoliating their cotton, the fields grow more beautiful. God has given us so much beauty . I woke this morning about 3 am nd saw the most beautiful moon out of my window, I am not sure that it was a full moon, but it is getting there, I thought about how beautiful it must be looking out over my neighbor's cotton field. I think nature's beauty starts with the seasons, each one brings something special. The beauty of ice and snow in winter and leaves and flowers in Spring and Summer, the changing leaves and air in the fall and so much more. How special all of these are, how good God is. Have you ever driven by a peanut field when the peanuts have just been dug? there is a mixed smell of earth and peanuts, so wonderful! We live in a very special place on this earth and I am glad that it is my home.

Change that you can believe in

Change that you can believe in, the changing of the seasons and it is about to be my favorite season of the year. You can already feel it a little bit,a subtle change in color of tree leaves and grasses, a little, just a dab, cooler in the early morning.Everything speeds up when school starts, summer is over and its time to get down to business again. Every day is a blessing!
I am waiting on cotton now to really get down to work on my angel kits, it will be ready most any day now. I have started packing the kits and getting them ready for sale. I like doing business!
