Sunshine and Good News.

 Sunshine and Good News.

 

Woke up to a cloudy day, but it got better with sunshine and warmth. Then later on in the day, Tami Yonts sister Paula posted that the surgeon thought that he had removed over 99 percent of the tumor in her brain. She will be in ICU at least overnight, but should be able to come home soon. God is great! Let’s pray that this mess will no longer affect her life in any way and that she and her family will have many years together.

 

It has been a lazy day—well, the old woman has been lazy today. Not much accomplished around here. Guess what. Someone does not even really give a rat’s patootie. Who is going to come around griping about what has or hasn’t been done? Neither of these two dogs seem to care. The hens just want to be fed and talked to. Well, once in a while, one of the hens will duck down to have her feathers ruffled. Strange birds. Put some egg maker in their feed, but have a feeling the wild birds got as much or more than the hens did. May have doves laying eggs all over the neighborhood!

 

Shared my sandwich with the dogs today. Will have more chicken gumbo tomorrow until its gone or until it ceases to be enjoyable. Can’t let the dogs have any since it contains onions. But the hens would clean it up quickly. Got it a wee bit spicey, but that is not going to bother me—or the hens.

 

My youngest Ostand grandson turns 23 tomorrow. Sent him a couple of Jacqui Lawson ecards. He got them today and sent me an email saying he thought that they were cute. Know it is hard on the companies who produce paper cards and the post office that does not get to sell stamps, but really like these cards. They play music and can be sent easily and quickly. Anyway, so glad to have the opportunity to make the kids smile.

 

My dogs snore and talk in their sleep. Woke up this morning to yips and running—in the bed. Thompson was catching something in his sleep. Had been making the critters sleep in the crate and dog bed, but lately they think they need to “help” me at night. Oh well. They are good company.

 

Want to work in the flower bed out front and see if the ground is soft enough to plant flowers, but have some asters to put out there that got water logged in the green house. That hail storm really did a number on that roof. Such is life. Maybe rolling the little dump trailer out there to fill up with asters will work. Then they can be planted wherever is handy. If they don’t make it, can blame it on too early or some such. Plants are like small children that need attention to thrive.

 

Time to go shut the coop doors. Will ask you all to keep praying for Tami Yonts and her family. Also, remember Lexi who will be having surgery next Tueday. So much sickness in our world. We just have to remember that God is in control.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
