No Particular Place to go but so much to see

The road trip was wonderful! I can't wait to tell you about the wonderful people I met and the inspiration I found in the places I have never seen before.  The weather was magnificent  and I could only wonder, "Why did we wait so long to do this?" It really was lots of great fun.

Having spoken many times of my penchant with odd names, I won't bore you with the details again, but I will give you a hint, our first picture was taken at:

 I kid you not! Do you ever look at street signs and wonder who comes up with these names?


The first stop along this path was at a State Park in NC, that I didn't even know existed. It was beautiful. 

 This Park has camping sites and kayaking tours, Hiking trails and looks like some place I definitely need to visit in the fall when the colors are changing!

The trees were so gorgeous! The river birch and bald cypress, oaks and gum trees were just reaching for the heavens with all of their might and the sun streaming through their leaves was breathtaking to behold.
You might want to look for some trees in my designs soon........

Squirrels gone wild!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have to deal with Squirrels? I love the little critters even though they can be quite the pest. They love to sit in my flower boxes and dig up bulbs and seedlings only to take 1 bite, check the window to see if I am watching and then throw what ever it happened to be away.
They used to know instinctively when I was about to harvest the tomatoes too, because for years, they would snatch the prettiest fruit just ahead of me. I love to watch them play in the trees and I have even taken care of a baby that my cat Orchid brought to me.

It was an infant and I have no idea where/how she got it, but it was hairless and she brought it to me laid it at my feet and waited for me to take care of it.

Today, there seemed to be a multitude of the little acrobats playing in the oaks and busily planting acorns for me to pull out of my flower pots. This picture of the squirrel with the coffee, just reminded me of how fun it is to watch them chase each other and play all day as though they haven't a care in the world.

Then I realized that when I put my total trust in the promises of God, I have the ability to be as care free as those pesky little squirrels.
