Escape

It didn't take long for the day to turn from a fun Friday to a day of dread.  The early morning news brought the story of mass, targeted shootings of police officers in Dallas.  Surreal.  Sad.  Pain and destruction leads to more pain and destruction.

GB has shared his concern that events of the days were building up to a season of rage; it seems to be here.  Prayer event announcements are popping up on Facebook.  

Amidst it all these lovely lavender flowers are a reminder that it beauty can come the the humblest of sources, such as the potato.  They are a reminder to use what we have to impact our surroundings in  positive, uplifting ways.  If a potato in a pot behind the garage can do this, what can we do with the with all we have and the Holy Spirit in us!

Potato Blossom!

And on a lighter note, there was an escape!  This seems to be where the chickens would like to rooster - the Clovis Memorial Garden.  A tad frustrating on this particular day since the garden and surrounding area has just been put back in order after the chicken's season of free-range, which followed the bear visitation.

Escape!
