*This cooler weather is such a Blessing, especially after the intense heat of this past Summer. I mowed my property (too big to be called a lawn/yard) last weekend and cleared some of the many leaves that were present. Both the leaves and pine straw/cones are falling. I am fortunate to be able to enjoy working outdoors beneath the ever changing, ever beautiful skies and the light of the sun. I hope you all are taking advantage of this refreshing weather.

Reflections:
*On Grandchildren: I think most of us who are grandparents will agree that it is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. I have 4 grandchildren in which 1 is a teenager and the other 3 are young adults. One of the young adults is currently visiting with me and I love it! I’m finding out that a grandchild still needs their Grandparents to nurture /encourage them regardless of their age. God Is So Good! *Continue to love one another, GPigott*
