What a GLORIOUS Sunday afternoon!

I don't know where YOU live, but here in middle Tennessee, it's a beautiful fall day; the temperature is hovering around 70, with a brisk wind. The pyracanthus (sp?!?!?) is almost to its full, glorious orange-red in the back yard - expect a photo soon. :D

Friday morning, I was sitting here at my desk working and I looked out the window. I didn't get a picture of the hawk that was out there earlier in the day, but I DID get a picture of this first: a flock of wild turkeys RIGHT outside our back door!!! They were between the back steps and the garden - so MAYBE 10 yards from my desk!!!! It's NEVER happened here that I know of, but I'm SO glad I was sitting here to see it!! :D Aren't they funny???

Once again, God blessed me by putting me in a quiet, still place to see the blessing He had for me. Dear one, I encourage you to see the place He has for you. Big or seemingly small, there is a blessing waiting for your notice RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show & Tell Friday!

Hi! It's Show & Tell Friday, sponsored by Kelli Winn! Go check out her beautiful pages - after you've read MY story. :D

This is my friend, Mr. Turkey. I absolutely love him, and everyone who comes over while he's out - most of the fall - comments on him. :)

Kenn & I went through Metammorah, Indiana, during Canal Days about four years ago, and Canal Days are a lot of fun if you're a shopper. :D The "turkey parts" were in one of the crafter's booths, and I just fell in love with him. So, we got him.

Every year, we go shopping JUST for that special pumpkin to bring Mr. Turkey to life. He usually sits on the corner of the kitchen counter, but this year he had a place of honor at the Thanksgiving table. :)

I hope Mr. Turkey made you smile. For me, it's those yearly traditions that make life special!
