"Lazy" Day.

 “Lazy” Day.

 

Just thinking that the wind has brought more reasons to sneeze lately. Between mown grass and whatever else is out there, my allergies are causing a slow nasal drip—just enough to make coughing feel necessary. Patty said she felt the same way, and even Sterling said that he can’t seem to get rid of the sinus drainage. Aren’t we hooked up for fun and games!

 

So, after making the bed and feeding the chicks and hens, the old woman has been goofing off pretty much. Seems there is a sore muscle in the back quarter that just makes trying to get up or down an interesting adventure. Interesting as in “see what happens if you get all the way down, Ol’ Girl!”

 

Made something for brunch and din-upper that seemingly thought about itself as taco soup. Nope, not soupy, but fairly tasty. Just made up too much and had to put some in bags to put in the freezer for days that cooking just seems to be the last thing on my to do list. Another day put some in the microwave, throw on a handful of cheese, and jibble up some taco chips on it. Not today, however.

 

The hens and chicks are doing well, the weeds are green and growing, and the dogs are happy to bark at just anything that moves. Life is about normal.

 

You read about banks and places being taken over by other banks and never stop to wonder if any of it will affect you or yours. It makes me wonder how the banks that were keeping that other bank from going under appreciated having their investments taken over by Morgan-Chase. Maybe the investments were not in monetary form? Very glad not to have to consider such stuff at the moment. Someday all the money won’t mean anything anyway. Sometimes it makes me wonder how my grandparents would have seen it. They went through the crash of Wall Street years ago. My parents knew what it meant for their own lives even much later. The Depression was a mess and a horrible time to live through for Americans. Now many more nations are in even worse shape than we are. When governments are unstable or the “leaders” are stupid, no one really stands a chance of making a living or existing on what little we have put up as savings.

 

What can we depend on? You know just as well as anyone what the answer to that question is—today as well as in the future. God gave us blessings and keeps His hands open to us. All we have to do is reach out to Him. May our children know Him.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
