In the half-light, I looked out the window and saw large pieces of white paper strewn about across the back lot. There is no trash here, not a speck. How did that happen?
Last night, as made one last round through the house, I thought the crickets were chirping louder than normal. Was there a window open? I checked the window seals. No, they were shut.
This morning, as I let the scampering eager dogs out the door, I saw a large green grasshopper (those giant “bugs” that used to scare me as a child) sitting happily next to the mop I laid out yesterday to dry. Good morning, Mr. Grasshopper. Welcome to the beautiful morning that we share!
Then, as the sun continued to rise, I saw what caused the strewing about of paper. Beautiful spider webs, strung from blade to blade, covered with morning dew. Nature made its own form of art…no paper involved.
It truly is a blessing to see the little things.

Don’t you just love looking at God’s creation? We hear crickets sometimes and see grasshoppers sometimes hopping around as well but our curious cats always try and go after them though!

Amy, my back porch had 5 cats sitting on it this morning. With the big green grasshopper right there among them. It was amusing. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the morning light. The crickets are much louder in the fall, always a reminder that the season is changing. I truly enjoy it. I am sure you do too.
Yes, I do enjoy it, we have frogs in the Spring that sing for us down at our pond though but we can hear them at our house, our pond is a little distance away though.

It’s the little things that make me smile the most. Like unexpected packages in the mail…..thank you, Mary!!!
Awww…you are too sweet!
