Inside Day

And the rains continue.   Yesterday afternoon, the rain stopped for a bit and suddenly it looked like we were living in dandelion land.  There is no way to get the mower in to mow until the ground dries up a little.  And, we can't spray until the rains stop.  The latest weather report shows that after today the sun will come out.   I am waiting.....  I hope they don't change that forecast!!  We need that sun for our garden to sprout and grow!

Freckles came home soaking wet and hungry this morning.  He was purring away as I dried his fur off. Something, from out on the prairie, has been stalking the cats; but, I haven't been able to catch it yet.  It has broke through the fence three times.  It has to be bigger than the cats or it would just take the path the cats use to get in.  So far it has just scared the cats off and eaten their food.  I am watching for the fox that has been hanging around to see if he has been sneaking up to the house, hungering for kitty food and cats. 

Today will be busy.  If the sun is out tomorrow, then all the housework needs to be done today, so that we can get outside when the sun shines!  God is good...there is always hope for the future.  The day may come when the only hope will be the one True Hope -- life in the new world with the Lord.  As always, our trust is in the Lord.

Somehow I lost the list of followers and the gadget that lets you follow the blog.   I just can't find a fix in any of the instructions, so, if you are still reading this....you might be the last followers. 

I will look further into this tomorrow.  

Rain...Rain....and more Rain!

Last night the wind came howling in.  It howled around the eves and around the garage door!  It had rained earlier in the evening, but seemed to have been gentle rain; it now turned into a fury and pelted the windows and the roof.  I got up to go check on the dog houses to make sure the attached little fort didn't send them flying.  Kat and Andy had come in earlier, and now the storm brought them out to check on the dogs too.  They were ok.

Neither Sammy or Beamer would budge out of their dog houses, when I went out to feed them this morning.  Beamer peeked his head out and waited for me and Sammy just stayed inside.  Picking up their dishes and dumping the rainwater, I stuck their dishes inside their houses.  

We aren't getting the dangerous storms that they are having in the midwest, but all will have to watch streams, creeks and rivers, as the rain continues through the week.  A lot of places are flooding, but so far we just have lots of mud.

Kathleen's little caragana trees that she planted last year seem to love this weather.  They finally bushed out and are standing up straight and pretty.  From a distance I don't see the little lilacs taking off, but the  bigger ones close to the house have reached their little branches up to the sky and leafed out.  

Whatever happens, whatever comes, we know the Lord is in control.  We keep our eyes on Him.
