The Tundra

The tundra is a very special place because of the intense winters, there is a short window of time to be in the tundra to enjoy it. 

It actually did snow the week before we arrived. The plants only get about 2 or 3 months to grow as much as possible. 

This means that all the grass and flowers don't grow very big. 

Soon these fields will be covered in wild flowers of purple and yellow. 

After that, the snow will be coming very soon. 

I love coming up here in the summer to enjoy the peace and quiet. The wind blows gently and you can hear the neighboring waterfall. I may not be willing to come in the winter, because I hate cold temperatures. When I come in the summer, the tundra is a special place to visit. You can easily visit the tundra in Colorado too. 

Make a difference Monday

I strive to make a difference in my community. Over the years, I have found different ways to give back. My current project is to crochet scarves for the needy. It may be 100 plus degrees right now but winter will come. I enjoy making these scarves and this year the beneficiary will be People's Church. I am currently accepting orders for scarves as well. If you would like a handmade cozy warm scarf, please let me know what color. Price is always negotiable since I find the activity to be cathartic. Today, I will smile to as many people as I can. A sincere smile can make anyone's day. Cheers to a good week! END

Clean out the closet

It's time to get clean. Time to empty the closet and prepare for winter. Clutter can cause stress and keep us from our best. Take what you don't need and donate it to someone who could use it. You can use freecycle or Goodwill.

Dear Lord, Thank You for Your wisdom to see what we don't need any longer. I pray my donations will help someone in need. Amen
