Psalm 91

You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
Thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

We've been busy!

Those of you on facebook will have seen these photos already, but for the rest of you, here's a recap. Over three years ago, we bought our little slice of heaven. At the end of July this year, we dug a hole. By the end of October, we had a house! There's still tons to do, but at least we are home and settled.


















If you want to see all of the construction photos, you can take a look on facebook. Thank you to everyone who helped, and please feel free to call if you're ever in the area! I don't have any acceptable form of coffee yet, but there is plenty of tea and hot chocolate to share, plus a selection of wine, beer, and cider for our friends. Give me a few hours notice and I'll feed you, too!

Autumn

“Autumn is the eternal corrective.
It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity;
but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance.

What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop
and fail to see the span of his world
and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?”

–Hal Borland
