I look forward to my long rambling walks on the weekends! Today I went out to my favorite spot to see what was happening. There has been a big turnover in blooming plants over the past two weeks! The prairie has shifted from a sea of blue to pink as most of the spiderwort is gone and replaced with phlox. The dragonflies are still really busy, and I added a new species to my list today! The coneflowers were blooming! I love them, and I’m so happy to see them again! The ones in my yard are a little behind what I found on the prairie.









Wren played Just a Closer Walk with Thee for the hymn of comfort tonight. I thought it was appropriate since my walks are good times to pray.
Tonight we decided to go on a sunset walk. We were hoping the Saharan dust plume would make for some beautiful colors. We also were treated to some other surprises.





How close you must feel to the Lord, Kristen as you soak in all this beauty
It’s an amazing way to spend time with God!
So true
Thank you, Wren, for playing one of my favorite old hymns. The pictures are more than amazing – a vole then TWO red/tailed hawks together. The sunset is over-the-top magnificent!! Thank you for all the beauty and comfort.
