We had some rain move through last night. We really needed it. Our yard has huge, canyon like cracks in it from the lack. I've been enjoying some blogs from quilters in Australia and its a little odd, but encouraging, to see their pictures of spring blossoms and read their excitement over the change of seasons. Here, we're approaching Autumn. I love the fall colors and activities...but the dread of winter's cold chill is lurking behind falling leaves.

Blessings from a dear family...their mom was interviewed and hired all in the same day for a teaching position. With the economy the way it is, this is such good news. We don't go a day without praying for those we know who are still unemployed or have recently lost their jobs. I'm very thankful for where we are.
