What Remains

Friday, September 27, 2013

Cheerful colors of summer beauty still remain in my backyard. 
The flowers my 8 yr. old started in little covered pots back in May
are continuing to grow strong.



Sunflowers, zinnias and marigolds!
With no frost yet and a few warmer day here, it seems almost summer-like.
But this afternoon's roadside walk with my girl here showed another story.
 
Fall is definitely here. 



Goldenrod, marsh asters, and New England asters
 decorate the fall roadsides here in Wisconsin,
giving a show of color in the ditches.
Wild, natural, and beautiful in their own right.
 
Soon their season will end as well.
Snow will pile up heavy and deep.
Life and growth will cease for a time.
And while those seasonal changes must go on,
I am ever so glad that one thing will always remain.
Simply,
Victoria
 
The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40: 8
