Resting or Nearly Resting.

 Resting or Nearly Resting.

 

Let the girls out this morning. Things went ok from there as far as the old woman could tell. Anyway, went out and gathered up the limbs that had blown down and some that were blown into the east fence from that bodacious “breeze” we had. Then, after putting out feed, a few spare drops of rain fell on me! Could hardly believe it! Had they fallen yesterday, they would have been mud balls!

 

Checked on my brother in Arkansas. They are still among the living up there on their hill. Praise God. Have no idea what all happened yesterday in the path of these storms, but apparently many a truck was flipped and the zero-visibility caused one long wreck out toward Canyon, Texas. The pictures were gnarly! Not sure how many casualties, but it had to have been more than a few.

 

Dust mopped the big bathroom, the bedroom, and the living room earlier. Have not started on the kitchen counters yet. Maybe tomorrow. Some days just take more energy than seems to be available.

 

Still reading in Romans. Seems like something stands out each time one of those books is read. Maybe it is something that the old woman needs to put into practice and just had not thought about it.

 

Lowry Mayo’s bride has a son who became Lowry’s new step-son, and he married to a beautiful Jewish mother who has a houseful of children with the youngest just now beginning to eat solids—the twins (boy and girl). So Lowry has been blessed with a new son and a wonderful family after all these years. Know that is not the same as the son he loved so deeply and lost to some kind of medical mess, but still. Seems like a great blessing to me.

 

Sterling said that the wind around his place took part of the roof of one of Danny’s chicken houses. That will have to be repaired rather quickly. Then it blew the tin off of a shed that his friend George had been intending to tear down. He and George took the tin off the shed to use on Sterling’s barn. Great that he could use it to replace the part of his barn that needed work. Now if only he can get someone up there to put the tin up! Trying to find someone to work is not easy these days. And that is not just on the farm!

 

Really don’t know much other than my body is tired. Patty is still trying to get all the dust out of her lungs from the storm, so we can pray for a good rain to rinse things down. She thinks that the only reason God has let her live this long is to keep me company. That may be the reason, but since she makes up a big part of my life each day, it is certainly appreciated. Love is never lost when given.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
