Making a green house

My first Saturday back east, the men from the church here set up a green house. Near lunch time, they called us ladies at Uncle Fain's to go help hold down the plastic. We got there just in time to see them getting ready to put the plastic over the frame.

We helped guide the plastic over.  


This is what we were doing most of the time--holding the plastic down so the wind wouldn't blow it away.


Battening down the plastic.


My aunt and me.


Finishing up.


I enjoyed these flowers that were growing on the property.

Little People of Pennsylvania

The newest of the 49 Morley grandchildren: Benjamin.

My introduction to little Benjamin. I love his faces!


I go nearly every day to help out at Benjamin's house for a few hours. Big brother Brynn loves to help clean the baseboard.


Biggest brother Gabey eagerly peels potatoes.


All three big brothers enjoy a matching game. 


Another little boy modeling his shepherd costume for the Christmas program.


Every child is precious in the sight of God. Helping at my uncle's house has given me a glimpse into the big responsibility it is to care for children. May the Lord give extra grace and wisdom to those who are responsible for their care. I know the Lord will bless those parents who are doing their best to train their children in the fear of the Lord.





Autumn in Pennsylvania

These are just some pictures of the Pennsylvania scenery that I have been enjoying.

Travel pictures



On the way to the airport to fly to Pennsylvania for a few weeks, I took one last picture of Pikes Peak with the glow of the sunrise on it.



And I admired the western beauty of fall. 


On my second flight, I enjoyed the clouds. 



The lights of Harrisburg.


Thank the Lord for a safe trip! Now I am enjoying shopping, singing,talking, and of course working with my cousins.

Aspen!

One evening, I drove through the mountains to pick up Sam from a job he was doing with someone from church. On the way, I pulled over several times just to take pictures of the gorgeous aspen.


The north side of Pikes Peak.


More pictures



I was pulled over for a while because I thought the engine needed more antifreeze.I was stopped at a  nice spot, at least. (As it turned out, I didn't need to have worried about the engine.)


Where I pulled over.


These were taken across the road from the car.



God has created so much beauty. I enjoyed the beautiful aspen.

The Prairie in Fall

The sun shines on frosty fence posts.
There is beauty in the grasses of the prairie--but you have to look for it. You have to be persistent--especially when you are walking the dogs and they seem to want their picture taken with the tree.


Okay, I may as well take your picture too.


Finally what I wanted-- a picture of just the tree!


I enjoy this beautiful little cottonwood.


Even thistles can be beautiful.


This may be just a simple little vine,but it's still pretty.


Can you find the ladybug in this picture?


Captured! But not for long. I thought of taking it home and adding it to Hannah's ladybug collection, but then it flew away. Well, now it's free.


The leaves of the wild rose plant get colorful in the Fall.




Just by looking, you can find beauty where, at first, it just looked like brown grass.

The Prairie Skies


One of the first snows on Pikes Peak.
Here are some pictures I would like to share.


I enjoyed taking some pictures of clouds. This picture is of a low cloud bank after a storm.



One morning we were working outside when Danny discovered this easily visible sun dog. It's amazing to me how this was created from the sun shining on the clouds.


The prairie skies at evening and at night.




The beauty and majesty of the prairie skies points to the beauty and majesty of their Creator.
