Hello September

 

                                                                              source

I've been waiting for autumn since last winter! My favorite time of year. 

The signs of the changing season is all around. The sumac along the roadside, the tobacco harvested and hanging in the drying barns. Field corn being cut. The walnut tree leaves are turning yellow and dropping early as they always do. My Red Sunset Maples are turning here and there, but won't really get going until October. 

We took the red, white, and blue bunting down from our picket fence, and I've gathered the flags. I will begin putting some faux foliage out, but not sure if I'm ready for pumpkins yet. 

I am going to tuck the climbing roses branches along the fence, and may cut some limelight hydrangea. It's got its autumn blush on it now.

I hope you have a lovely holiday today, and are ready for the 'ber' months!

The best is yet to come!

information Friday

 

I've been drying Sarah's bouquet for the last few weeks. I think there is beauty in the way the flowers look now.

Here is some of the information of what has been going on this week! Pray as our nation is in a fight for it's life!

The Deadly ‘Trans’ Assault in Minneapolis

Nate Jackson@NatriotJackson

More by this Author

As school has begun across the country, there have been numerous hoax calls about active shooters on campus. That’s a sick way to get entertainment, but sicker still is when the shooting is real, as it was yesterday morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Tragically, two children — ages eight and 10 — lost their lives when the assailant opened fire through church windows as the students were assembled for mass and prayer. Seventeen others, mostly students, were wounded, some critically.

After his assault, the murderer took his own life. And, like the murderous psychopath at The Covenant School in Nashville two years ago, this killer identified as “transgender.”

• CDC director fired after tiff with RFK: Susan Monarez, the recently confirmed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been fired. Monarez refused Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s request for her resignation over vaccine policy disagreements. Monarez’s lawyers released a statement saying the firing was due to her refusal to “rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives.” Several other CDC officials resigned on Wednesday following Monarez’s firing. One of the resignees, Demetre Daskalakis — the head of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases — posted a fiery resignation letter to X, accusing HHS of ignoring the “gold standard” of science at the CDC … before signing off with his pronouns.

• Judge blocks Garcia deportation until October: We wrote earlier this week about activist Judge Paula Xinis’s decision to “absolutely forbid” Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation for now. Xinis’s intent is to keep deportations of even wife-beating MS-13 gangsters from ever happening. That much is revealed by the delayed hearing date of October 6, which is set to allow Garcia to plead fear of deportation. Garcia’s lawyer announced yesterday that Garcia will once again be seeking asylum in the U.S. and has requested that an immigration judge reopen the proceedings. Garcia has previously been denied asylum.

• DC Mayor Concedes Trump Takeover Has Reduced Crime

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a press conference on Wednesday that the federal surge in the nation’s capital is helping reduce crime.

“We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings,” Bowser declared at a conference dubbed “Situational Update Federal Surge.”

Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman confessed he was ‘tired of being trans’: ‘I wish I never brain-washed myself.'

Language Alert but very good!

In other news...

John Bolton is in a lot of trouble.

There is always more I could share, but I don't want these posts to be too long!

See you in September!

Beautiful Day

 

Yesterday was a spectacular day! Lovely temperature, beautiful sky, the first hints of the changing seasons.

I drove around a bit after an appointment and then stopped home to pick up my mom. I wanted her to get out and enjoy the beauty, too!

We drove around, saw the tobacco beginning to be harvested, grabbed some lunch and ate it at a local park. 

We are having mild temperatures. I looked back to last year in August on the blog and I remarked about the same thing. I have the office window open right now, and it's lovely.

I want to thank you all for your prayers for our friend who has been battling cancer. He was acute, but has stabilized for now. He'll be coming home soon, and will receive some PT and OT at home, as well as having some other care at home. He's doing chemo for quality of life, not quantity of life and we appreciate your ongoing prayers for them and all who love them.

We know that our days are in his hands. Psalm 139:16 says, "Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them." (ESV)

How glad we are that we can hold on to these truths.

Information Friday

 

This photo was posted on my blog last year on August 23rd. We'd been having beautiful weather, and other than the rain, we have again been having beautiful weather.

I sat down to do this post this morning and got a call from Tim who needed me to drop something off to him. So off I went, and then I decided to pick up some food for him to have for his lunch, and went back to where he was working. 

While I was out I saw that the FBI was raiding John Bolton's house and offices. Apparently this has something to do with classified documents and the investigation began in DJT's first term as President. Then under Biden, the investigation stopped. Hmmm.

Kash posted this at 6:03 am this morning.

John Bolton posted this at 7:30 am at the time the raids on his home and offices started. He may have his X scheduled.

Unbelievable! Leticia James tried Trump for crimes she was actively committing! 

Remember, non citizens - even those legally in the country, do not have the same free speech rights as citizens.

Interestingly Adam Schiff is being investigated for mortgage fraud as well. 

Powell's term as Fed Chair almost over! Thank God!

This is huge! Five Eyes spy on each others citizens!

What do all these people have in common?

Committed to leftist principles, hate Trump, and seem to all look alike! 

Happy Weekend!

Sorry

 
 I am not doing an Information Friday post this week.

We've had devastating news about our dear friend who is battling cancer, and will likely be headed their way in the next few days. 

Your prayers would be appreciated!

                                                  This photo is 10 years old!

I was looking through the archives of my blog for photos, and I came across a post from 2019 and I mentioned the young daughter of a friend who was having a health crisis. I clicked the link I shared and on it I saw a $25 donation from my (and some of yours) dear friend Vee! She mentioned she was a friend of mine.

What's amazing is that post is 6 years old, and Vee has now been with the Lord for two years! It made me cry, but also give thanks for the lives of these precious souls that the Lord has brought into my life.

We must not take any of it lightly. God has given graciously for our salvation, and has given us people to walk through life with. 

                Edited this photo to erase blurriness and it made them look like kids again! Lol!
 

 

Morning View

 

Every morning I see this beautiful view! My limelight hydrangea out of my bedroom windows! What I don't normally see is the screen on the windows, but my phone camera really caught it in this photo!

I took a short video, too!

Then I came into the office (which is in the next room) and opened the window and took this video. The sounds of summer!

An online friend shared this graphic the other day. I was shocked. 

By the end of August it will be dark here by 7:00 pm! Wow!

We had a quiet weekend. Which was lovely.

I sent Sarah and Dave a Happy One Week Anniversary text! That week went by fast! Just like life!

Everyday we have the chance to live the life God has for us this day. We make our plans but God directs our steps.  So when we have those days that don't go to plan, let's remember that God knows and let's lean into Him for direction.

Our days have been mild this past week, and the evenings cool, and it feels like Autumn, but it's only August so I know we will be heating up again. In fact, just looking at AccuWeather shows that next week will be hot and humid! But down into the 60's overnight. 

Meteorological Autumn begins September 1st, and astronomic Autumn begins September 22nd. I go by meteorological Autumn, which is easier. September, October, November are the Autumn months. Otherwise you have Autumn running until nearly Christmas!

Anyway. 

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Information Friday

 Hi Friends! This is a bit of a personal post and an information post today!

I wanted to share some pictures of the wedding last weekend.

We had such a wonderful week and the wedding day was delightful! Perfect weather for the outdoor service, great food, fun photos. I'll share some of the professional photos when we get them!

We thank God for Sarah and Dave, and pray that they will continue to seek him and walk closely with him all their days! My parents recently celebrated 66 years of marriage and I hope Sarah and Dave do one day, too!

Now to some news.

These subpoena's are about the Epstein case. Ghislaine Maxwell recently met with the DOJ regarding what she knew about Epstein. No one had ever questioned her before. Jessica Krauss from House Inhabit has investigated and followed the Epstein case before most people were paying attention to it. I've learned a few things from her. 

1. After Maxwell and Epstein broke up, he had other women who functioned in his life as Ghislaine did, and yet only Ghislaine was arrested and charged. Also there was some non prosecution agreement yet they broke it and went after Maxwell.

2. Virginia Giuffre changed her story often. She accused Alan Dershowitz and when he fought back and denied it, she changed her story and stopped accusing him. 

3. The famous photo of Prince Andrew is photoshopped. The information only came out after he had paid her off. Several people she accused paid her off and she dropped her cases against them. 

I believe that some of the story around Epstein may have been filled with false information (remember when Trump said as much?) to distract from what Epstein was really doing which was money laundering for powerful people. Not that there wasn't s*x going on, but not sure anymore about exactly how old people were etc.

Prince Andrew and Fergie used their friendship with Epstein for money. She is notoriously known for lavish spending and debts. Andrew as the younger son of the Queen was dependent on her for income, and housing.

I'm taking a wait and see position.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has started the ball rolling on a Federal Grand Jury to investigate Russia Gate. This is going to be incredible!

The Durham Annex papers show that Hillary Clinton gave to ok and paid for the Steel Dossier and began the narrative of Trump colluding with Russia. Comey knew, Brennan knew, Obama knew, but they all wanted to get rid of Trump. They wanted people to think that the election of 2016 was interfered with and that Hillary really won!

Her job as president would have been to continue to destroy our nation as BHO did, and get us into a nuke war with N. Korea.

You know it's bad when this was the concern from these agencies under Biden!

I'm for this!

Let's make America great again, and the people of the nations will be more at peace and prosperous, too!
