Nod

Give a nod to Autumn 🍂

Its colors make me smile.
The bush outside my window announces that gorgeous season.
We kayaked to this lake for many a beautiful mile.
Give a nod to the fall season in Switzerland for a reason.
Soon those leaves will fall into a pile.

Love our 4 Seasons!

Change

“Change is a powerful, sacred force… The transitioning landscape is a testament to the Creator’s steady hand in a chaotic world.” (A quote from today’s devotional in These Days)

The snow capped mountains soon give way to barren mountain tops … but each season has a beauty of its own.
“The environment is a living sanctuary…”
In sunshine or rain, give thanks for the natural world’s beauty.

“The psalmists frequently personify the natural world, giving mountains, forests and seas anthropomorphic attributes…”

The trees clapped their hands!

The hills were singing 🎵

The Lord reminds us we are new every morning! Embrace change!

Happy Autumn to you, my friends. Embrace the day. May the majesty of the natural world remind us all that God is in control. Breathe deeply in the holy refuge of creation.

Amen?

Love, JanBeek

My Morning Visitor

Injured moose
I didn’t let Kenny out on purpose!

We seldom see moose in our neighborhood during the day. They sometimes come down out of the mountains at night to nibble on our evergreens when their natural habitat up in the Gravellies or the Madison Range is snow covered. But this guy showed up in broad daylight.

Just sitting outside my kitchen door !

He had a ragged spot in his back and a bum leg. Probably had been injured by some other animal that attacked him.

After I got Kenny back inside, Bob & I chased the young moose off to the neighbor’s. He was nibbling on our trees! Fortunately, after I contacted the neighbor and explained, he called the animal protective services. Hopefully they came to help… I don’t want to think about how.

What do you think?

Protect our animals! And yourselves, too!!

Love, JanBeek

Beautiful Springtime

This is National Poetry Month according to BlueMountain e-cards. So, let’s get started:

Daffodils in springtime

They are first to hail the season

The slightest bit of sunshine

Gives us hope … and they’re the reason

Born of many colors

Popping out of barren ground

They’re ready to add cheer

Wherever they are found

Daffodils are like children

Their faces bring lots of smiles

Whenever I look at them

Joy radiates for miles

All the springtime blossoms

Add cheer whoever they are

No matter where those flowers bloom

Whether near to us or far

So go to your computer

And send photos to your friends

They’ll gratefully receive them

From now to when spring ends.

They’ll like you even more when you share your smiles across the miles.

God bless you!

Have a happy springtime day!

Love, JanBeek

Ah, Yes!

Wish you were with us now!

Lion’s Club Park

Ennis, Montana

Madison County

Yes, it’s everything “The Madison” shows you (minus the F word)…

Ah, that’s so unnecessary! And offensive.

Clean air. Clean mouth. Clean river. Great fishing. Perfect place to live and take a walk.

Ah, yes!

Love, JanBeek

It’s Spring !

Spring feels like summer

Not used to such warmth in March

We need lotsa rain!

Yup, 77 degrees in Montana

Send us some moisture!

Love, JanBeek ❤️🙏🏽

Snow!!

Yay!! Today’s snow is an answer to prayer. We have desperately needed the moisture. Isn’t it beautiful?

That’s our house behind the snow-laden trees.

And our Kenny absolutely loves it!

Crazy pup!!

Have a beautiful Thursday afternoon/evening, my friends.

I attended an art workshop this week. We all painted butterflies. 🦋 Mine’s not as good as I had hoped, but I had fun doing it. That’s what counts, right?
