The Umpqua Valley

The Umpqua Valley...what a great place to live.  Wherever you look there is gorgeous scenery.  I live in town and my view is spectacular.

From the colorful view from my front yard...

To the mist covered mountains in the back.

It is lovely seeing the beautiful South Umpqua meander through the West side of town.

 

 I love driving the wandering roads through the valley's and just seeing where we end up.

 I love the fact that we are rich in produce here...all the fruit and nut trees...

as well as vegetable farms.

 The countryside is dotted with old barns...

 and cattle.

 The fall colors are beautiful.

We have many great vineyards in the area and an organized wine tour.

I love the Umpqua Valley...it is truly a land flowing with milk and honey...and wine.

CSA Fun...

I talked about the CSA I belong last fall quite a bit.  I signed up again this year and I'm really looking forward to when it starts.

But today, was a BBQ hosted by Growing Crazy Farm.  Sarah and Joe threw a great party.

 The tables looked so pretty.  (sorry about the pictures, I took them with my cell phone).

 There was great music...

 The farm looked gorgeous.  All the veggies were growing quite nicely.

 The fruit trees in the background have bloomed and are setting fruit.

 There were games like horseshoes and beanbag toss.

 The view was phenomenal.

and we ended with a delicious rootbeer float.

Do ya ever...

Have so many thoughts flying through your head you feel like it is going to explode....

Have so many things to do you are unable to do anything except the bare minimum...

Have so many great ideas to try but just don't know where to start?

This is where I have been (am) lately.  I am just overwhelmed.

So, I have been spending more time in reading my Bible.  When I sit down with it and start to read or start planning what to study, I often think I have too much other stuff that I should be doing, but when I start reading God's Word and studying...

Ahhhhh...a peace just fills my soul. I feel more relaxed and less stressed.  AND guess what...

I get a lot of things accomplished that need to be done, but I don't feel like I'm drowning anymore.
