They may be different in size….but they both have hugged Perkins girl feet. The big ones are mine. The little ones either carried me or my sister. It is amazing to hold teeny little shoes and think that, once upon a time, they weren’t so teeny…

Here is another pair of shoes that I appreciate. They once belonged to a little boy at a children’s home in Guatemala. I served there for a few weeks. When the little guy got “new” shoes, I decided to keep his old ones. What a reminder of the “shoes that others are walking in”……
Lord, help me to LOVE! Help me to SEE!

Twas a little on the chilly side (somewhere around 50-60 degrees) earlier today as I headed out for a walk down our street with the goal of getting some pictures. The rice fields down the road have been flooded (as part of the growing process) and they look so nice! Here’s a glimpse of what you might see along our little road. The landscape is a tad on the flat side here – ok, so the biggest hill is the overpass over Interstate 10. BUT – if you take the time to look around, you can find beauty right at your doorstep. Oh, and maybe a touch of South Louisiana culture. :)
…Some not-quite flooded fields :)
…A crawfishin’ boat just settin’ there. And – no – there isn’t a man in it. That’s just pants and gloves hanging there :)
…Crawfish traps
…The tan house in the background is our home! Home is such a lovely place! :) It’s crawfish traps in the foreground. And don’t be tricked into thinking that that’s a hill in the middle. Tis just a levee – which I don’t think counts :P
I had wanted to get picture of the egrets that wade in the water looking for dinner, but they weren’t really around the first time I went out. So, I made another attempt a little later. I wanted to get in closer, so walked down the levee a bit, but I must’ve been detected and off they went :)
It was a niiiiiiiiiiiice day! :)
Y’all are precious to me!
