A LITTLE TASTE.......?

Just when I thought that there was a scent of Fall in the weather, God arranged for a hot day to intervene. Today is supposed to set a record (previous was 92 - so you know what that means). But the cool mornings (50's or low 60's) when I do my 1/2 hour walk have begun to make me feel like it won't be too long until cooler weather sets in.

I know that it's still three plus weeks to the official Fall season, so I am hoping that this is not our "Indian summer." Time will tell.

This bush along the driveway reminds me that a new season will be upon us shortly. Some of the trees are already shedding leaves (although that may partly be from the stress of dry weather).

It is simply hard to understand God's paintbrush. His handiwork is so very evident in the variety of colors painted on the Fall leaves (or is it leafs??). I am thankful for all of the wonderful seasons.

The goldenrod is in full bloom. No, hayfever does not come from this flower, but from the ragweed!

Mimo He, baptized over two years ago, continues to be a joy-filled person. She will be finishing up her last year at UWSP and then looking for grad school. Wants her PhD followed by med school with the goal of working in Africa in one of the Third World countries.

Naoki, one of the Japanese students that Karol taught, came with his host family to the Crossing Cultures Corn Roast at Peace this past Sunday. About $5000 was raised for international student ministry work at Peace Campus Center.

After feeding bread to our "pet" fish (bluegills and largemouth bass), Karol spends some time in simply reflecting on what a beautiful home and property we have. Certainly, we'd love to have you come for a visit.
