Today as we are packing things up we look out the cabin window and see two does. It is obvious they are not anymore afraid than the other deer we have seen on this trip. Once we are packed and have turned in our key, said goodbye to a new friend, Sandy Altman, owner of Stone Creek Cabins, we are off for one last small adventure before heading home. It was a bit grey and a little drizzly but it is amazing what beauty one can still find if they just open their eyes, heart and mind!

Happy For A Reason reason’s:

1.       Being able to observe the deer up close.

2.       Another morning of relaxation and fun with Ron, uninterrupted by cell phones or other electronic devices!

3.       When we arrived home, our lawn was mowed, fence lines and walk way (and we have a lot) weeds all gone! Thank you Peter and Candice!

4.       Neighbors brought over compost for the garden and Peter tilled it as well!

5.       Alissa, Peter and Candice over for and we all enjoyed strawberry short cake…no strawberries from the garden, but there are promising flowers!

“Nature and revelation alike testify of God’s love. Our Father in heaven is the source of life, of wisdom, and of joy. Look at the wonderful and beautiful things of nature. Think of their marvelous adaptation to the needs and happiness, not only of man, but of all living creatures. The sunshine and the rain, that gladden and refresh the earth, the hills and the seas and plains, all speak to us of the Creator’s love. It is God who supplies the daily needs of all His creatures…. “God is love” is written upon every opening bud, upon every spire of springing grass. The lovely birds making the air vocal with teir happy songs, the delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green –all testify to the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make His children happy.” ~Steps to Christ, EGW
