i even washed windows and puttered around in the garden, admiring the flowers that are still blooming! in our neck of the woods, the frost should have hit and killed them by now ... but they are still greeting me with their multi-coloured smiling faces ...
after the household work - it was time for a bike ride!!!! i gleefully hit the trail and even snapped a few photo's to share with you ...
the picture above and the picture below, were both taken at the town dock/beach ... as you can see, the leaves are mostly on the ground now - but it is a tranquil lovely spot to visit ... and one i pass by every day when i go check the mail at the postoffice ...
see how serene the water is? you can see the clouds reflected in it ...
and here is the other end of town ... i must have biked a few miles ... thoroughly enjoying every wheel rotation, grinning like a 10 year old who didn't have a care in the world ... and as i rode, i prayed ... "thank you Lord ... i love you Lord ... you have blessed me beyond measure ... "how good God is ... how i love the simple sweet things in life ... and despite the burdens that can weigh me down - God brings these joys along, that unexpectantly lift me up again ...
blessings to you, blog buds! and an extra blessing to the one who prayed for SONshine!
Art gallery? Who needs it? Look up at the swirling silver-lined clouds in the magnificent blue sky or at the silently blazing stars at midnight. How could indoor art be any more masterfully created than God's museum of nature?

Looks like a beautiful ride. God has truly blessed us with such an awesome creation. And - if this world is beautiful, think what Heaven will be like!!
jel ... thank you ... my bike by the tree! ... today is another lovely day out there ... i should get my act in gear and go for a long long walk! blessings to you!
mimi ... sometimes i pinch myself - because we live in such a lovely area of Canada ... it's mostly an "unknown" area too - so remains very small town!
pat ... i agree that heart attitude plays a big part in gratitude ... and i would need a good swift kick in the rear if i complained about where & how i live!
Susan ... it certainly is ... :o) ... i'm just debating whether i go for a walk today or ride? hmmm? decisions decisions!
mari ... what will heaven be like indeed? i'm sure we will all be speachless - except for the praise & thanksgiving which will pour out of our mouths because if it didn't, we'd just burst!!!
Well, praise the Lord for the beautiful sunshine! I am so glad you enjoy riding your bike. You make me think I need to get outside and walk to see God's lovely scenery. Your pictures are wonderful as always.
Abundant blessings to you too ~ :o)
Just had to add - a "2 minute walk to work!" How wonderful!
cathy ... hope you got to go out and enjoy! :o) ... and yes, a 2 minute walk ... i'm curious to see how the day will go tomorrow ... ?
As you embark today on your first day at a new job at your local library, I offer my prayers for special blessings to you on this wonderful opportunity. It was great to read that the job is such a short walk from your house. How awesome is that! It sounds like a job you will truly love. I do understand that Leo will miss you while you are at work, and my prayers continue for him as well.
Your sister Maria also continues to be on my mind. It sounds like she is having dificult health issues with complications to her diabetes. My prayers continue with her.
beautiful pictures...thanks for sharing.
