I’d love it if eucalyptus trees lost their leaves like this…how much fun to go stomping through all those!

For me, leaf piles are one of the beauties of deciduous trees. We had a large Ash tree in our backyard when our girls were younger. When it lost its leaves, we would rake them into a huge leaf pile. The girls would leap off their slide and down into the leaves with squeals of laughter. We even have a picture of a young Adi buried in the leaves with them. That said, I do appreciate the green of the evergreens and magnolias on dreary winter days.

Thank you, Gary. Your comment brought to mind a verse that simply popped off the page this week during my morning Psalms time- “May Your unfailing love be my comfort, according to Your promise to Your servant.” Psalm 119:76

Like Adi and Summer, I can see the path clearly and smell the crisp, pungent Fall air through the photo, Beth! Psalm 16 is, in part, woven into my daily prayers. Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving, you and your family, Beth! God Bless!

Thank you GW for the lovely comment. I love how the more time spent in the Psalms, the more they’re woven into prayers and praise, the more they become like a lifelong friend.

The girls look like they’re having fun. I bet those noses, eyes, and ears don’t miss a thing on the trail!

Oh, I’m so glad that you got to enjoy a favorite verse in photograph format. Little is missed by either dog. If you look closely to Adi’s left you’ll see a pond. Several mallard ducks are sitting on it which has Adi kept an eye on. Summer is much more interested in any squirrels that might scurry out in front of us.

Walking life’s path is filled with ups and downs, but most of all reassurance when we know Him who leads the way!
Lovely scripture and picture sister, God bless you and your family today.

Psalm 16:11–one of my favorite verses, Beth. Each of the three clauses offers much food for contemplation! And what a perfect photo accompaniment: the dogs appear to have found the path of life and are about ready to bound off toward fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore!

Thank you Nancy! You summed the dogs up beautifully. My favorite part of this verse is the last clause- “at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” It reminds me that at the Father’s right hand sits Jesus, and from Him comes such peace and joy.

Looks like Summer and Adi have their eyes fixed on something down the path. I can almost hear the leaves crunching as they run ahead in this vivid photo. God bless you, Beth.

Thank you Pastor Pete! The last of our leaves fell last week. The temperatures and rain gave us a long and vibrant fall this year.
