Maybe…Maybe Not…

Today started pretty early for me because I had to bring the car to the garage for a timing belt change and that of course includes a water pump…that time for it so what can I do? My Dad has helped me out because he works part time at Napa making parts much cheaper and for that I thank God and him both.  I see real live eighties in the forecast now!  For today it’s still fighting to decide if it will let the sun shine or not .  I love the heavenly aspect the clouds can get when this battle rages throughout the day…it’s so beautiful!  We are entering our strong storm season…if we have tornadoes it is usually mid May through mid June that are the most dangerous…for now I just relish the scenery the Big Sky country has to offer.  Here’s the panorama from our backyard.  The birds take no notice of the cool breeze or rain…they always sound ecstatic for the season! Sal couldn’t care less about these things…he’s just happy to be alive…love his smile !  Regardless of the struggles…don’t forget to take in the view and breath the air.  I love to see life in such a way where the dark things only frame the better picture that God has in mind!  Blessings to you all!

    Yes, the photos do remind us to stop and smell the roses. Everything is beautiful in its own way.

      It surely is Beth, I need that reminder myself often. I never feel that I'm preaching to others here as much as telling myself something I need to know!

    I could sit and watch the clouds roll by for hours. You can contemplate all sorts of the wonderful things God gives us.

    Hi Joe..
    gorgeous photos of the sky.. those clouds are beautiful.. and that blue sky.. breathtaking.. Love this weather.. not to cold.. or hot.. just wish it would make up its mind on to snow or rain.. the mixture of both is not nice.. but thankfully it dose not stick..
    sorry that your having car problems.. not fun time for sure.. wouldn't it be nice if they made cars/trucks that did not have to have maintenance ?
    what a blessing that would be..
    keep on keeping on friend.. soft hugs..

      The maintenance went well...such a relief! The timing belt is essential...have that fail and you're in for real trouble...now I have no worries! I'm with you on the clouds...they are really rolling in and out this month!

    Your blog is sure a reminder to take it as it come and leave it all in the hands of God. Its sure is out of ours and when we find that beauty and peace that can only come from within the spirit that is a
    Beautiful feeling.
    The weather here is getting warmer. Trees are budding, my garden plants are coming up .Bob has a sports injury so I need to do more of the yard work this year. I think I maybe very busy.Anyway dear friend you blessed me with the calm of the sky , the calm of your blog.

      I'm glad to hear that it's warming up for you Lisa, I was stunned to see eighties in our forecast...eighties! I don't really have much to do with big gardens and such...I just am not a green thumb. We will have a few plants that don't take much to care for and that will do it. You are always welcome here and it's always a pleasure to hear from you when you stop by!
