The past few days have been so enjoyable. It is not that I have done anything special, but the cool weather has been such a pleasant traveling companion. When I spotted these asters, I knew for certain that September and autumn were on their way. I am grateful.
Today will find me moving some dirt from one area of the front yard to various pots and planters. A neighbor loaned me his wheelbarrow, a nice old rusty thing that makes me smile every time I look at it. I have learned that I am not a very good gardener, at least at this time of my life, so I am simplifying things. Perhaps this is what it means to let nature take its course. I must let mine do the same.
Have a beautiful last day of August. May we all enjoy our tasks at hand.
Give Thy blessing, we pray Thee, to our daily work,
that we may do it in faith, and heartily.
that we may do it in faith, and heartily.
