It's all in the perspective

Today is not the day I hoped for. After a crazy busy week, i looked forward to lounging in the sun porch with a beverage and a book, maybe pulling a few weeds, going to farmers market, and pouring over canning books for ideas of what to do with the latest crop of tomatoes.

When i stepped my toes out the door, i realized somebody forgot to tell me it was going to be crappy outside today. it's cold!! late september cold, get-ready-for-winter cold. actually, i kind of like this kind of weather, if my fantasy is a sweatshirt and hot chocolate and a football game with friends. but (see above) that was not today's plan in my head.

I went out to the sun porch anyway, and contemplated a new kind of day. Beener was cranky, and i did not have warm enough clothes to stay out long. then, when i got up to leave the scene, my eye was just drawn in to the overall picture in front of me. This messy, haphazard, shabby chic world is truly a picture of every fantasy i've ever had about how i hoped my life would look. God in His infinite wisdom can take overgrown, half dead stuff and arrange it into perfection, without even half trying.

Thanks Lord, i needed that. Happy weekend!
