Raindrops on a Spiderweb

When you look at a spiderweb, what do you see? Evidence of a pest that you don't want in your home or garden? Or do you notice the intricate workmanship of the web and wonder how long it took the spider to make the thin gossamer threads intertwine?

When I saw this delicate spiderweb that had droplets of water from a recent summer storm, I marveled at the sun shining on the raindrops. I loved seeing the drops suspended on the network of the finely made web.

I'm so thankful I took a moment to appreciate the simple beauty found in nature. What is something in our natural world that you have found stunning recently?

Evening Sun Sunflower

This time of year the sunflowers are opening their petals and showing their bright and beautiful faces. There are so many different varieties of sunflower that you can plant in your garden or even see on the roadside.

My favorite has been the Evening Sun Sunflowers. Their vibrant petals that mimic the color of the setting sun add a depth of richness to your garden once they bloom. 

What are your favorite sunflowers? I'm already thinking about the ones I want to add to my garden next year!
