Raindrops... you know how I love them. I would have liked these better if I had had my tripod, but handheld was all I had that day. I like how you can see the texture of the leaf in the second one through the raindrops even though it isn't as crisp as I like.


Wardrobe update.... went shopping with Mom today and found several things. (Mom laughed at my indecision, though. :) ) I got a lot of great deals so that made me feel better about letting some of those dollars loose.

On to that High School reunion tonight.... I have been told by Steve to NOT take my camera. lol

Here is a poem that Mom showed me today. It is precious.

Drinking From My Saucer

I've never made a fortune
And it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I don't have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loved ones around me,
And that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings,
And the mercies he's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
And the sun peeped through again.
So God, help me not to gripe
About the tough rows that I've hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy
To help others bear their loads.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
