DAY FIVE AT HOME.......
Rocky and I got out a little today. We drove over to Houston which is a 28 mile drive from here and since Rocky’s unexpected illness caused both of us to retire, we took our time and enjoyed the ride. We have no reason to hurry along now and we had a chance to check out the baby calves along the way….in our area, that’s a lot. It’s fun to look at all the little black dots on the green hillsides with proud mama’s eating nearby. I’ve never figured out how the females pick the one to be the baby sitter but there will always be one watching the nursery while the other mama’s are eating. Got to make milk for those hungry little guys.
Life gets sweeter as the years go by. Mainly because we do have time to stop and smell the roses. When you think about the beauty God puts in our life every day, sprinkled with some good lessons and funny little things that nature can produce……it’s a shame if we don’t observe all we can. He went to a lot of trouble to put it all there for our pleasure. Think about it….a changing canvas every day….just for us. Now that’s a good reason to get out of bed every day.
Rocky did some walking this afternoon and is feeling very well considering his recent surgery. I’m sure his doctor will be very pleased with his progress when we see him on Monday. In fact, we have two doctor visits to make then as well as celebrating Becky’s birthday. That’s a lot going on for one day but we’ll make the rounds, I’m sure.
About dusk we walked outside to see where Napoleon was so we could give him his last slice of soft bread for the day and we bumped into the man across the road who is having a new house built. He was out inspecting what the gravel haulers had done for the day so we got to welcome him to the neighborhood. At first I was sorry when our road became a through street and buildings began going up across from us but I have softened my opinion. I realize others see the beauty of the area as we did and I’m willing to share.
We watched Napoleon fly up and the last of the cardinals leave our feeders……the sun went down in a cloud bank tonight…..but there is the earthy smell of Spring in the air. God is good.
Until next time,
