Flowers and Such

I think it is time to head back to the A Rocha Canada Field Station,
located at the edge of the scenic Pembina Valley.
A Rocha is a Christian conservation organization,
working to show God's love for all creation.
I invite you to click on the name to visit their site.
Jake and I love to visit this place,so we are excited to share a few more pictures.

As one drives onto the yard this is part of the scene which greets you.
The directors live in a very lovely home,perched at the edge of the valley.

Here is a look into the valley.All around the wrap around deck are beds of beautiful flowers,and as you can see bird feeders of all kinds.

Walking around to the back or valley side of the house,this is the view.All flower beds look very natural and relaxed,yet so colorful.

I was impressed that even a few volunteer plants beside the driveway were left to grow.

Just another look into the valley.I could easily spend all day sitting on that deck,enjoying the view.

Part of conservation is to use water wisely.

We all know that flush toilets use a lot of water with each flush.

A Rocha has gotten around this by the use of an Outhouse.

I remember the old outhouse from years ago,but not with fond memories.

It was smelly,and not a pleasant place to be any longer than one had to.

A visit to the Outhouse at A Rocha is a pleasant experience indeed.

Here is the overall view.

Take note of all the little details,that make this place look great.

Upon opening the door,which I might add has a plexiglass frosted panel in it,

this is the inside view.

I think they were in the process of repainting this place.

 two seater no less,one white and one pink.Hmmm,was one for boys and one for girls.

To the side is this assortment of useful items.

Of course we need the toilet paper,but we never had  hand sanitizer in ours back home,

or incense sticks,candles and matches.

Previously when I visited this room,there was a picture on the other wall,but it was being redecorated and hence no picture this time.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tour.

I am quite certain that I will be featuring more pictures from this are.

Thought for today:
Contentment is not getting what we want,
but being satisfied with what we have.
