Summer is nearly over...




Summer always ends with good memories.....

As mid Summer turns into late Summer we are starting to get some cooler morning temperatures and red skies signalling that the season is turning here. In March Autumn will make it's way into our world and we will start to see some bronze/red colours but until then we will make the most of the sun and blue skies.

The sky is absolutely beautiful, I love those colours. It's amazing how fast these seasons move along to the next one.

While for you the days are starting to get shorter, I've been noticing how they are getting longer here. The earth just keeps on turning!

Enjoy the rest of the season! Sometimes here in Florida I forget what season it is (mid-winter now and here the temperatures are warmer than we get in Oregon during the real summer months).

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
