Up to My Boot Tops in Water and Praise

Yesterday there was a short break 

in the drenching rain we've had for the 

last weeks and I suddenly knew 

where I was headed!

To the ditch!

This time of year is when I go foraging

for fall berries and stems to dry

for use in arrangements.

So I put on my rubber boots

and into the ditch I went,

which was so full of water it almost

went over my boot tops.

 As cars drive past and everyone

stares in consternation as to what a crazy 

lady is doing down in a ditch with 

a pair of clippers-I am in a moment of praise.

Here is where I feel so moved by 

God's creation, the color, the bounty,

the glory of His hand moving over land

and water to end a season in a blaze of

joy just as He begins each season.

I went joyfully splashing about

until my car "boot" was full to bursting:)

And then home to make my porches full of glory too,

and just in time as the rain began again.
It also helps to have new purple rain boots:)
