The late blooming Calendula certainly brightens up the fall garden.
In summer I would take these flowers forgranted but now they

This Blue Jay seems to be playing peek-a-boo.

Thank-you,God for little things
that come unexpectedly,
To brighten up a dreary day
that dawned so dismally.
It's hard to be downcast when I look at the beauty around me.

Here is one of Jake's pictures,taken at the small creek just west of town.
Actually this creek helps to feed our lake from which the
town of Morden gets all it's water.
