God's Art

This week I read a quote that said, "Nature is God's Art". We got to experience that today sitting, fishing, walking, & relaxing on our land. We were all reminded that God is in control of everything. He created everything for His purpose. We are simply here for Him - it isn't complicated. Our day at the land was completely uncomplicated - it emphasized God's supreme authority over ALL things!

After a late breakfast (good sleep, too), we headed to the land to hang out.

We started out fishing - well we tried anyway. We discovered that there aren't any fish in the pond, so Kevin went down to the creek where we saw some blue gill. He caught about 10 fish & brought them back to "stock" our pond. We'll see if they grow & mate.

Our makeshift bucket & blue gill . . .

Since the fishing wasn't too thrilling - they were able to get some good casting practice in - then they became very involved with the wild grasses & playing together.

Okay, I know you can't see these turkeys very well, but I had to put the picture on here. We were sitting on our "hunting" ground that was just mowed. Kevin said "All we need is some turkeys." He has seen deer on the land & TONS of tracks, trails, & evidence of deer. About 2 minutes later, Isabelle said "dad, there's a bunch of turkey" Sure enough, about 10-15 turkey showed up at the end of the lot. There were 2 hens & their babies. . . .it was unbelievable. As you can imagine, this made Kevin's day!

Then we decided to hike through this field & trees. . . . we were hoping to see the turkey, but they were gone.
Can you see the leopard frog . . . we found 2 on our hike.

Too cute for words!
