Heavenly Conjunction...

I snapped this photo in the early morning light of Friday, 19th September. It's the conjunction of the moon, Venus, and Regulus.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1)

Look Up...

A couple of the next posts will focus on the heavens, since the skies reflect God's beauty. This was the sky in the early evening as I mowed the lawn last week. It's quite refreshing to look up and be in awe of our Creator!

Amazing!

Homegrown Goodness...

As mentioned in a previous blog post, our cucumber plants have been one of our favourite crops this year. And they continue to bless us with fresh cucumbers. In the kitchen we have ten large cucumbers ready to eat, with about the same amount still growing on the vine. We also have tomatoes slowly ripening. It's been a great year for homegrown produce. :)

Lexington on Lake Huron...

We visited Lexington on scenic Lake Huron earlier this month. We spent a good few hours here. We walked along the breakwater and had a picnic lunch on the beach. We also browsed at a few shops in town and had a treat at a local bakery and coffee shop. It was a somewhat chilly day, but that made it less crowded and more enjoyable! 

We also drove up to Port Sanilac to see the lighthouse there, before heading back to Metro Detroit. It's great to find these little gems not too far from home. :)

There's a sheltered harbour behind the breakwater.

The skies were quite pretty this day.

Almost like the Caribbean. 

Walking along the breakwater.

Amazing clouds as we look out over Lake Huron.

A small fishing boat comes into the harbour.

The Port Sanilac Light Station dates from 1886 and is a short drive north of Lexington.

School Year 2025-26

As always, here's our annual school photo. We are so thankful to be able to homeschool our children. :) You can check out last year's photo here.

Bike Cleaning...

On the afternoon of Labor Day, I spent a good few hours scrubbing grime and dirt off my bike - and being sure to clean the chain, cogs, and derailer too. It was certainly needed, since it had been several years since I put the effort into this task. Shout out to Eliza for capturing the process. :)
