Sea-son

The desert passes very quietly from one season to the next offering subtle changes in shadows and minor shifts of daylight. Desert dwellers are marveling at the grace in which spring gave way to summer this year. We were given pause before the major shift to 100 degree days. These are the little blessings that reminds us not to take anything for granted. As we witness a new season of natures' babies and wildflowers, warm pavement and lemonade we are also preparing and celebrating a major shift in our wild and crazy lives.

This guy turned 60! It went on for days.



Our daughters planned the surprise of a lifetime with this visitor from the east.
Apologies all around for the tales that were told to pull this off. It was worth it!
We have defined season after season in our home by a final spark in the fireplace or the last citrus fruit picked and a final trim of the winter grass. I like to think that we are created to adapt to seasons. 
THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THIS SEASON THAT IS GOING UNNOTICED.
 Track with me for a just a minute because this is big news. 
WE ARE MOVING!

I have had the great privilege of helping others adapt to a new season and it is now my turn to embrace all that moving has to offer. The adventure ahead will unfold with Gods' grace and so it goes.  

We have practiced both gratitude with a joyful heart and at the same time felt the pain that penetrates change.

We will stay in Tucson where are hearts are full. 
We are chosen and this is our path! We hope that you will keep us in your prayers as we figure out this journey called life and that you will stay in touch.

Music by Pete Seeger
The words are adapted from The Bible, Book of Ecclesiastes

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late


Book of Ecclesiastes
King James Version of the Bible
