"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Thankful Thursday, Little Things Thursday, and Signs 2

Indian Mound, Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, May 31, 2020

I am thankful that we were able to visit Shiloh National Military Park on Sunday. And thankful that the restrooms were open! We parked our car and followed a short walking trail to the American Indian Mounds Historical Site. There are several mounds grouped together on a bluff high above the Tennessee River.

There are wooden steps going up to the top of the largest mound.

The information signs are showing the effects of the tremendous amount of rain we have had in the last couple of years. The illustration depicts a community gathering around an athletic field for a game of stick-ball. Archeologists date the site as being about 800 years old, but they are not sure if these Native Americans were related to the present day tribes of Choctaw and Chickasaw that still live in the area.

From the top of the mound there is a beautiful view of the Tennessee River.

It was wonderful to be outdoors and feel "normal" for a few hours!

Have a blessed day!

Mushrooms and Murals, January 12, 2015

I don't remember ever seeing a mushroom turn its cap up so completely as this one.  Up close like this, it looks like a monster from a horror movie, but it is actually a rather small mushroom.

Monday Murals


Mural on the south side of the Cherokee Town Hall near US Hwy 72, Cherokee, Alabama, USA

This mural was painted by 13 of Mrs. Burns art students at Cherokee High School in October 2012, depicting the Native American Indians (the Cherokees), the farming community (cotton), and the Tennessee River.

Hope you have a wonderful week!
