November 20, 2023 Quickshot: Siding

 

We love the ancient houses in our community.  Fall, and the changing leaves of the ivy that's attached to the facade, made this home a completely different color.  Yesterday, we went passed it again and all the leaves were gone.

November 16, 2023 Quickshot: Boomerang

 

Went by to check on the status of our car repair and noticed the sign above taped on the counter.  I've studied enough German to get the gist but that one word "bumerang" was a new on...until I said it out loud.  Yes, you get it.  "Kindness is a boomerang.  It comes back."  Really love that sentiment but after consideration I think it's missing something.  Our motivation for being kind isnt because we hope it's returned (although it often is).  We are kind, we love, because we're recipients of kindness and of love first. The overflow of being eternally loved causes us to love others, right?  Regardless, this wold could use a little more boomerang kindness.  And we could use our car, (see Oct.12 post) which is still not repaired, but hopefully soon.
