To Everything there is a Season

 
To Everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven.

Thank you to The Byrds for creating a haunting folk tune which stands the test of time, bringing Ecclesiastes 3 to life.

However, as much as I do appreciate change, I sometimes have a difficult time giving up the old and familiar and favorite.


Like Autumn.  Michigan in Autumn is unbelievably breathtaking.  It has been a particularly beautiful one this year, or we have just been able to be out and enjoy it more, and I hate to file my photographs away just yet.  We have seen a few snowflakes, which are admit-ably beautiful, but I don't want to see Fall go.  


A time to be born, and a time to die; 
a time to plant, and a time to reap

So here is some of the fall harvest from my collection  - does anyone else have an image they would like to share?  You can send it to me and I will post a Reader's Collection, or you can send a link to your own testimony to the beauty of nature.
Enjoy!

Sandy, this post means all the more to me after looking out my window the past couple of days! I wish it still looked as beautiful and colorful as your photos.

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr...

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

Restoration in the Works!

  The Ammi Wright House.  Built 1888.         Our town has some pretty remarkable older homes and businesses.  Many have already been restored and are residences and/or businesses.   We went to a meeting the other night which focused on how to go about restoring a beautiful old lumber Barron's home - the Ammi Wright house, just off the main street. It has been empty for a great many years and needs a lot of work to bring it back to life.  But this group of people can do it.   The building itself is already purchased as part of an agreement with the Gratiot Area Historical Society.  Located in a nearby town, they have purchased it and Alma will be part of this system.  We are now forming committees for all the areas which need to be addressed, including historical research, fundraising, publicity, etc.  Lots of work, and lots of interest.  There is a steering committee in place, and we all signed up for an area we feel...
