Your answer to number one was fantastic, very evident of your love for the Lord.<br />I would so love to hear you sing a solo, though I'm surprised that you can do that yet hate to speak in front of a crowd. I'm the opposite,I enjoy speaking yet would NOT sing a solo. Maybe if I could sing I would consider it, but not likely.<br />Your doggies are just the cutest! I can see why they take precedence in your home.<br />When I first glanced at your photos I thought maybe it was really changing colors in your part of the world. Ha! <br />I love each and every season for the beauty that they afford us, but here in the Rocky Mountains late fall isn't very nice, in fact, quite dreary before the snow flies.<br /><br />As always, what a joy to visit with you<br />and leave with a smile upon my face.Debbie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-62669203943681267232017-08-19T17:41:00.992-07:002017-08-19T17:41:00.992-07:00Oh, sweet friend, your posts are always so refresh...Oh, sweet friend, your posts are always so refreshing and just what I need :) Thank you for the joke as it brought a smile to my face.<br /><br />Your photos are truly beautiful and I must tell you that autumn is on its way here in the mountains.

I hope it cools down soon for you... we are having cooler weather here finally, but still no rain. Fire is still very much a concern. Speaking of the "john", one of our plans here on our homestead is to build an outdoor "john"... someday, lol! And your sweet doggies are just precious, life just isn't complete without a dog, I don't think! :) And I'm glad we have peace in HIM, regardless of the circumstances around us! Hugs!

(<i>Love</i> that pumpkin shot!) Come, Fall!! <br /><br />Such sweet faces on your little doggies. I imagine that "a dog's life" is pretty good there at your house. :) <br /><br />Loved reading your answers here today (even though I am late to the party as usual!). Your heart speaks through your words. I prefer this type of "speaking" myself . . . the kind where you can ponder and choose your words slowly and carefully and you don't have to worry about your voice shaking or the faces that are staring up at you!

I'm with you, we all are only flawed, human beings, and we do mess up, but we know that God still loves us, flaws and all. I don't like to speak in front of groups, either, and I was a teacher! I was fine with the students, but didn't like when I had to speak in front of parents. I can write with the best of them, though, and even wrote a lament for my hubby's 4th anniversary of his passing (but have it filed away). kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-49091280350547836742017-08-17T07:28:28.138-07:002017-08-17T07:28:28.138-07:00I have a Doxie mix.

She's been a little rascal to train.<br />Who am I kidding? We didn't train her, she trained us! We've just come to<br />an understanding. ~grin~ She's three now. When she was six months old, the<br />only reason I kept her is because I knew someone would tie her up to a tree <br />and leave her there. This mama's heart couldn't let that happen. So we kept<br />her. I love her to pieces, and she's spoiled. We finally began to bond over<br />vegetables. I gave her some little pieces of veggies one day while cutting up<br />a salad. She loves veggies, and she's come to love me...sort of...while I'm cutting<br />up veggies or deboning chicken. ~smile~<br /><br />God bless you and THANK YOU for sharing your fall photos!<br />Loved the pumpkin one.

I don't do well speaking up in groups unless I am really comfortable. I don't mind speaking in front of groups as long as I have my notes and am prepared. But I could never speak without notes--I guess my crutch/control thing. Maybe because our summer was a bit on the mild side--makes this oppressive August heat and humidity almost unbearable. It definitely draws us to dream of autumn and cooler days. We had the window condensation too. podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-20541944351630954322017-08-16T17:50:36.770-07:002017-08-16T17:50:36.770-07:00I like that joke! 🤓 Hope cooler weather comes you...I like that joke! 🤓 Hope cooler weather comes your way.

That pumpkin one is so lovely, and the one with the bridge to the water should be in a magazine, truly. It's strange, but hints of Fall are already starting to show here, and there are breezes in the early mornings. I wonder if it will come early to us this year. Your dogs are soooo cute. I like your answer to number 1. Yes, we are still learning, and knowing God is always with us is great comfort.

Girl, I ...I have enjoyed all of your answers today. Girl, I would have had you speaking in front of thousands of women! LOL! I would love to hear you sing too. Dang it...why we gotta live so far apart. Debby, I will never forget the first ladies retreat I spoke at. It was at my church and of course my mind went with ...the people in Jesus's hometown didn't even support Him so what makes me think they will support me. I had already been teaching a few years by this time (Ladies on Wed. night) Well girl, 250 women showed up! I can remember the cheeks of my butt shaking. It was quite funny as I look back and recall that day. The theme was "Hat's off" and all I could think about was "getting out". LOL! The Lord was so gracious and good to me though. But can I tell you this, I've been teaching now for 20 years, and have spoke at retreats, mother-daughter events, conferences and etc over the years and sometimes, I still have a little butt cheek shaking going on. I think it might be the Holy Spirit's way to remind me that He in charge and not me. Debby I love your fall pictures. Oh I love Fall but I can't even think about it with this horrible heat right now. Hoping you have a good rest of the week my friend.
