eyes on the grainhouse in the lakeeyes of GodUsually people around these parts love to have a cabin or “house on the lake.” (must be the Scandinavian tradition) In this “house in the lake” photo, it would have qualified in years past.  But now Devils Lake has taken over much of the farmers’ acreage, farm buildings, houses, and wooded areas.  The lake, which was named by the Indians, translates better as “Spirit Lake.” Somehow the native Americans must have known there was something mysterious about the ebbs and flows of the lake’s waters.  When I was a little girl going to visit my grandparents in Sheyenne, we would take the Hwy. #2 route and Devils Lake as a lake was merely a smelly pond of little consequence.  The earth had sucked in all its water, but now it looks like Lake Superior because of all the area it has overtaken is vast.  Water, water everywhere.  God superintends all of this in His creation.  I took several shots of the sunset the other night back at our farm, I didn’t see the cloud formation of two eyes looking down at the turning wheat.  “Turning” means from green to gold, making it ready for harvest.  Can you see the two eyes in the clouds?
