Of Pineapples, Roses and Puffballs...

My mouth got to watering for these pineapples


patience is a virtue indeed...


something, I would love to have more of


but, while I wait for these pineapples to come to sweet maturity...
I will enjoy watching them bathe in the sunlight


and marvel that this tiny, once elusive flycatcher...
no longer hides itself in the trees


meanwhile...
because I would like more of these around Pilgrim's Cottage...


as I pruned my rose bushes...
my husband suggested putting some of the cuttings into dirt


I did...
and this is what happened


the cuttings are putting out branches and leaves!


now, that is monies saved

rose bushes aren't cheap here
more roses, please


as evening shadows began to close the curtains over daylight...


and the chickens marched into the coop to settle in...
and just before I closed the door...
I counted heads to make sure all were in


and mama Milly and her puffballs forgo the nest box...


and cozy deep down...


into a soft mattress of dry grass


I'm tempted to join


yeah, Milly and chickies...
nighty-night...
sleep tight


May your day, or night be cozy in God's grace.
