A Day in the Life in the Country

Life is great in the country. Wide open spaces.....

Rolling hills and green as far as the eye can see....

Throw in some VERY nice low temps (unheard of in the month of July in the south) and it makes for a great day.

But there was also some of Granny's country cooking, cooking that largely is based on home grown vegetables and well, then life in the country can become much of a religious experience.

Granny cooked up her Fried Green Tomatoes...

 

 

 

 

Can I get a Hallelujah?

But she also cooked up a "mess" of other goodies:

Blackberry Cobbler

Fresh Creamed Corn

Pork Tenderloin and Roast Beef

Fresh Squash Casserole

Sliced vine ripe tomatoes

Fresh green beans

Fresh potatoes

Banana Cake

Well, just look at the plate....who couldn't praise God with blessing as bountiful?

But there were even more bountiful blessings to count....

Throw in precious family...

 

 

And the sounds of laughter...

New family members....

We spent time in the garden....

And caught up with old friends.....

(Crown the horse is 27 years old!)

After dinner, Granny and I got on the gator (ATV) and allowed Dale the Lab to lead the way into the woods to explore.

 

We came upon some turkeys, that the dogs enjoyed chasing.

After their run, they wanted to take a dip in the pond...

Granny knows how to make that Gator go!

The day ended with a glorious sunset.

So many blessings. So many great memories made! Indeed! A religious experience!
Praise God, from whom all blessing flow.

Thanks so all who left comments and sent email regarding Sister Sledge's injury (Friday post). She is doing MUCH better! She has had a crazy two weeks with injuries, but feeling much better from her arm injury. No breaks! So thank you for your kind words.

I hope your week ahead is as fruitful and blessed.
See you tomorrow, friend.

Live (fully) * Laugh (often)* Love (greatly)
