One of the most important necessities of life is shelter. This necessity is often taken for granted. We have already had quite a few cold, rainy days this fall that have made me pause and thank God for my nice warm home.
On a recent dreary day I noticed a little fellow that did not seem to be as fortunate as myself.
I wonder why he is choosing to sit in the rain?
And just when I thought he was strange, I noticed that he wasn't alone.
Are there any reptile specialists out there that have an explanation for this?
From the warmth of my own place of shelter, I noticed something else. The Camellia was almost ready to bloom!
After a couple of days of rain, the sun came out again...and so did the blooms!
I am so thankful that God has provided me shelter from the weather! I am also thankful that He chose to surround it with the beauty of His creation. Is there something that you are thankful for today?
A look into the ordinary life of someone who loves nature and the God who created it all.

I must admit....
I must admit that blogging has been on the back burner for sometime now for me. I must also admit that I miss it. Although I am trying to read and keep up with your blogs, I have not been communicating much with my blogging friends. I didn't realize how much I enjoy your company...so I am going to try to do better. I am going to try to carve out time for my blog no matter how busy my schedule may be.
One thing I have failed to do in my busyness is to thank Patti for the wonderful gift that I received in the mail sometime back. She hosted a give-a-way at her blog and I was the lucky winner. She sent me this lovely book and a sweet note.
Thank you so much, Patti. This package in my mailbox brightened my day! Patti has a lovely blog that is very uplifting. If you have a few minutes you should pop in and visit her.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful fall season. In the next few days I will try to share some of our fall happenings here in North Carolina!
