Time To Vote

It's time again for 

"We The People"

to VOTE.  Many folks consider

this one of the most important

elections of our lifetime.

 Those of 

us who've been around awhile are 

watching as our freedoms are being

taken away, right before our eyes.

Seems our

 Constitution is in danger

of being altered and some of us have

been "snookered" into thinking we can't

think for ourselves or make decisions

about our children's diet and health issues.

"Stunning" 

is the word I use most often

when I see what is taking place.

 Remember l984 the movie?

Things not looking so good for 

America.

Who are these people 

in charge and

what could the voters

 have been 

thinking?

"Without God, democracy 

will not and 

cannot long endure."

(Ref: Christian God)

"Within the covers of the Bible 

are the answers

for all the problems men face."

~Ronald Reagan

Remember......Freedom is never 

more than one

generation away from extinction.  

We didn't pass it

to our children in the bloodstream. 

 It must be

fought for, protected and 

handed on for

them to do the same.~Ronald Reagan

Praying God will 

intervene 

and protect, where there

are dishonest forces

 about, on 

Election Day......Dee Dee

Daylight Savings Time

When told the reason for daylight savings

time, the Old Indian said,

"Only the government would believe

that you could cut a foot off the top of a

blanket, sew it on the bottom and have 

a longer blanket."

Have a beautiful Lord's day!  Dee Dee

Goldenrod

Here is one of the most 

beautiful places

to experience a November autumn.

It's real pretty, don't you think?

Goldenrod 

can be seen blooming

in abundance on Honeymoon Island.

Grasses once green have now

turned a pinkish color, giving a 

beautiful glow to the landscape.

A little slice of heaven seen here showing

the Island transforms

during cooler autumn weather.

Mixed with usual salty air

 are now

musty scents of dying wild flowers.

Is it just me?  

Or does it seem we have

something built into our subconscious

that makes us feel different this time

of year?  I'm ready for cool weather,

 ready for change in clothing style,  and most 

definitely ready for change in foods. As

a matter of fact, I have a nice pot of chili

simmering on the stove.  

Autumn, the season for island walks

in the fading afternoon sun.

I'm glad you stopped by....Dee Dee

Lovin' The Autumn Season

Come nightfall, 

with no fireplace in our Florida cottage, 

 we do whatever it takes to have  

indoors cool weather ambiance .

A few candles burn,

 an environment enhancer,  and I'm

even a bit chilly from a northern

breeze blowing through an open window.

I'm a little melancoly this evening.... although

lovin' the autumn season, there is

concern in my heart for America and it's people.

.....please, please

God bless our land again. 

Prayers....  Dee Dee

Pumpkins and Jack-O-Lanterns

I found another little painting

I did in 20ll....nothing is much

sweeter than children in a 

pumpkin patch.  

I saw a few of the pumpkins

they gathered tonight.  They were

carved as jack-o-lanterns.

Enjoying these times.....Dee Dee

Watercolors and Pencils

Our road trip found us

driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It

was memorable in more ways than one.

We were privileged in

seeing a flock of wild turkeys.....a

beautiful sight.  I see them as wonderful

creatures to paint or photograph. These

are last years use of watercolors and pencils.  

 .....image of young turkey.

Might just do a little drawing soon......I have

some sweet ideas for greeting cards and

the holidays are coming closer. 

 Just want to

pack as much goodness and fun into

the season, don't you?

Hmmm.....Over the meadow and through

the woods......

Have a sweet ole' day, everyone.  Dee Dee
