Rainstorm Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

We've had more of our share of soaking rainstorms this Fall.   This awesome gleaming heart appeared just before a huge deluge.  I thought it perfect for this week's Guest Heart Thursday--and for Halloween--a holiday known not only for its costumes and spooky traditions--but a time of grave darkness (no pun intended), which will be pressed back by the light of the Creator.

Golden Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

While visiting Mom on Monday, I came across this beautiful bouquet of leaves.  Mom's garden is incredibly beautiful and when the sun touched golden hands on these leaves they began to glow.  It felt magical.

Have a beautiful week!

Heart Shroom on Log -Guest Heart Thursday

Last weekend we were performing in Oregon's mighty Columbia Gorge.  My young friend and I were leaping across rocks and climbing old logs.  I would have completely missed this plump heart shroom if it were not the sharp eyes of my youthful companion.  There's nothing sharper than the eyes of a boy who loves nature.  I felt honored that this young man would take time to hang out with an old lady like me.

What a lovely beautiful day.  Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Heart on Shroom -Guest Heart Thursday

In our spare time between conference meetings, we knocked down a small dead fir tree and cut it up for firewood.  Beneath the canopy of fir, I found this amazing mushroom--it was bigger than the palm of my hand!  And yes, there's a heart to be found.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Volunteer Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I cleared the little planting area outside my office window.  Mostly what grew there were bramble bushes, Herb Roberts and Day Lilies.  I put in some bark dust to keep it neat and forgot about it.  What a surprise to find a gigantic plant sprawling from the planter box onto the cement.  It was a volunteer squash plant.  

No squash--just wonderful large yellow flowers.  I have enjoyed that volunteer squash plant more than I can say.  I will be sad to see it go when the first winter freeze steals away its delicate beauty.  In the meantime, I am grateful for the hearts outside my window.
