Rose and I went out to enjoy a gloriously beautiful day together and the cats followed us around the yard and added to the fun. I was especially drawn to the beautiful cottonwood tree that is turning a shimmering golden in the wind and the sun. By evening the clouds had rolled in and we had some light sprinkley rain coming down. Weather can surely be changeable - how many times has it been hot and summery one day and then drop like 100 degrees and freeze the pipes the next. I know it happened the day Nancy was born. That day Rita had Shannon in for her 6 month check up in shorts - an 80 degree day- and that night it got so cold with horrific wind that the pipes froze in the barn! This was April 2nd, 1982! Living here we certainly know about change in the weather, and sudden change too! Yet, there is a feeling of surprise when a beautiful day suddenly changes, and is not what we expect. This is true in our lives too... we can be going along just fine in the sunny beautiful weather of our lives and then suddenly we are hurt or things go wrong... we are surprised and stunned that life cannot be predictable and good all the time.
The boys are out farming, and the girls went on a hunt for fall things to make a centerpiece that Mary and I drew and watercolored together. We had to stop and visit our Lady and give little Roger some love.
The boys leave with Uncle John for the day in the truck and tractor!
Rosie is worried about the cows - there is a fence between you, Rose.
Happy birthday Uncle/grandpa Paul Verly! Jesus, we trust in YOU. bless-bless, Barbara Luke
