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.

Colquitt's tallest and proudest mural

The mural committee working with muralist Charlie Johnson is getting very close to completing the design. Charlie has been busy all last week cleaning the grain bins and getting them ready to paint.I can just imagine how excited and interested we are all going to be just watching him every day and seeing the scenes develop. Many folks have worked very hard to make this happen, the vision, the fundraising, finding just the right artist in a nationwide +Canadian search has taken much time and dedication .Charlie and his wife Sarah are from Canada and she will be returning soon . I have a feeling that from now on when we travel and people ask" where are you all from" we will answer and say,we are from the home of Mayhaw and Swamp Gravy and the second largest mural in the United States. We will all feel so proud!
