More Musings

It has been a while since I last posted. Where has the summer gone? I will be returning to work July 30 from the summer break. Gee, that seems soon. Just so you know---the eggs/birds that I kept writing about.....well, while I was gone with my long time friend Linda to help her daughter move........the birds flew the nest. At least I hope that is what happened. Katie called me in Mississippi to tell me she had closely watched the birds and how much they had grown. Then, the next day they were gone.....I guess they had to go sometime! My concern was that the one unhatched egg was gone too! Now, if any of you bird lovers have a clue.........let me know. Do you think a snake may have taken them all??? OH NO! Do the parents come and tell them all to get out?? I must study up on this situation, if I am to continue to soak up the nature around me.

Katie's two boys (grandsons) spent this week with me and grandpa. The boys have played Webkinzs, gone to the movies, played in the mud, read stories, played with play dough, watched Boomerrang, and more. It has been so wet from massive rains which limited our outside fun. Katie reported a good time at Falls Creek. She was excited that she was able to lead a young teenage boy to the Lord this week....bless you Katie....way to go!

We hope to enjoy a quick trip to the Cattlemen's Convention in Denver next week. The following week Gracie will come to visit us, while Gillan goes to church camp. Then it is back to work for me.

The amount of rain we have received the past two months has just been unbelievable. I don't remember a summer this wet before. We have been hesitant to complain due do the extreme drought last summer, but this could prove to be just as devastating as far as hay, silage, and other farm related activities are concerned. Oh well, I know the Lord will take care of us and He knows what he is doing...this will make us appreciate normal weather.

Enough of me...I hope you are all having a great summer. More later.
