Today was a bit of a test in Patience for me as hubby's stomach had been upset all night and most of today. Therefore, we pretty much stayed home except for a couple of times out. The clouds were getting to me. The music he had on got to me. I don't do minor notes; no matter how beautiful the music, I just can't bear it, especially when there are clouds in the sky and a hearty breeze blowing. I had to come to grips with the situation and not let ME get in the way and ruin the day! God, as usual, gave me what I needed. He came through me like the breeze that blew outside! His love and warmth came through and I became loving and understanding with my husband. I slowed down my pace and just let my agenda go out the window. Then God caught it and handed it back to me in the portion that He wanted me to have. Hubby had a bit of an upswing so that he was game for going out for just awhile, knowing that I only needed a few minutes to click some pictures. When I found the perfect tree, I jumped out of the car. The wind picked up. I switched the setting on my camera and held a certain branch, held my breath and clicked that beautiful little Nikon button. I then said, "Thank you, Lord!" That's all I needed. That along with a few things at home that He drew my attention to. "LOOK, Gail! See this mold on the chile peppers? Isn't that cool? Oh, and look at this, this weed right outside the back door. Pretty little flowers, aren't they? And the clouds up there that I've spread out a bit so that you wouldn't be sad; they look like cotton. You should call them God's cotton, Gail. Everything I created is mine and it's for you to notice and enjoy and share with everyone you know. Because I love you. Yes, I really do!"

Beautiful, Gail -- I hope you're doing well.
Don't you love how He does that?
Fun Pictures, Gail. Thanks for sharing!
Pretty pictures. Glad your hubby's feeling better. Thanks for sharing and reminding us to be thankful! =)
Not crazy about the mold (tee-hee), but the pics are lovely. Glad you got what you needed. That's just like God!
Wow, the mold..is yech! Great pics though. Praying your hubby feels better really soon. Blessings for a wonderful week.
Beautiful! I love those times when God surprizes us!
that little weed by your back door is a spring beauty. if you followed it's roots down, you'd find a little tuber... they can be baked like potatoes & eaten. i've eaten them, but never dug them up. heard it's quite the task.
i find mold frustrating & fascinating, too. i always wonder what it was that started the mold in that tupperware dish! surely your husband didn't eat any of that...
glad you were able to adjust to the day, and then the day adjusted to you!
One of these things is not like the other...
I like the last pictures
