Columbus Day Weekend

Fall foliage for the kitchen table and apples from a trip to the orchard.

Just 2 of the many reasons why fall is one of my favorite seasons.

Prayer

It's easier to pick up needle and thread right now, rather than pigments and brush.   These are just a few little pieces that I've been working on from time to time.   The third angel has yet to be embroidered, but I've added watercolor to the base fabric and will build on it from there.

October is the month of the Archangels, Guardian Angels--and my favorite: Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. There's peace to be found in prayer--and who doesn't need peace anytime throughout one's day.  

My grandchildren say the Guardian Angel Prayer each night at bedtime.   Their example prompted me to include it in my prayers: each morning before I rise, and each evening before I fall asleep. 

Angel of God, 

my guardian dear, 

To whom God's love Commits me here, 

Ever this day (night) be at my side, 

To light and guard, 

To rule and guide. 

Amen
