Saved from the blade

I was clearing some fallen apples from under the tree before

mowing the lawn and found this little toad.



I put him (or her, I did'nt check) in an empty fishbowl and took

the kids for a walk to "far" (see previous post) to set our friend free.

Hope is a choice

Hope is not a feeling; it is a decision. And the decision for hope is based upon what you believe at the deepest levels - what your most basic convictions are about the world and what the future holds - all based upon your faith.
