War and Peace


I have a friend who's from Maryland and has seen the outside of the Washington DC temple multiple times. 

She has mentioned to me multiple times that she wants to see the inside of a temple. I knew the Burley Temple open house was our best shot although I intend to take her to the Salt Lake Temple Open House. 

I sent her the dates and she said,' Can we go tomorrow?'.  So we went to Burley on Friday. She said that she liked the beauty of it. The diversity...there are a couple of paintings of women of color....and the art celebrated  nature. I would agree with her and add that it is here thato I find peace. 



I've been wondering what color my Gooseberry Tree would turn. It did not disappoint. 


Nothing like walking through crunchy leaves. 


My mum's came back for Fall. 


I love the neighbors tree. 


The fairy village is covered. Looked magical to me.

After my rant last week I did what I could. 
I donated to the food bank.
 I emailed both of my non working Senators. And most importantly,no checked in with some families. 
Maybe this week will be the end of a shut down that has hurt so many. 

Find peace where you can...
Pick your battles...
God bless us all.....

Harvest Blessings

Image
I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....

What a Week

I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a MAGA. I'm not a Fascist. I would rather have a root canal than listen to Fox News. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I'm 100% anti-gun With the killing of Charlie Kirk this week it has become clear to me that people are blind to the truth. For the record, I knew his killer was going to be a home-grown, gun loving, Conservative - being a Republican is very confusing right now. And it was.  In my world what happened this week is that two families were forever torn apart. A young mother and two children lost the father in their home. A Christian family has lost a son, because he will probably be convicted with the death penalty. That family, like so many, taught him how to use his gun and they will forever know, that he used that skill for evil.  The Maga world is praising Charlie Kirk as a Godly man who shared light and love with others. I had no idea who he is, but everything I've read seems to point to a very ch...
