You can never be too busy to enjoy a little rain. And that's exactly what we have been doing lately!
Today we did some work in the morning that got cut short by a rain shower. And then the same thing happened this afternoon. But we certainly won't complain! Check out what kind of work the rain has been bringing our way.
First things first....we got the pick-up stuck while trying to go where we were cutting up a tree that had blown over. Good thing the tractor was already there!
Nothing like working in close quarters. This tree was blown down during a storm a week or so ago. Thank goodness it landed so it got wedged in another tree. The garage is what you see just to the right of it.
Dad kept bragging to me about our mulberry trees. We have two mulberry trees that grow in what we call the "river pasture". It is a highlight of our summer to go park the Mule under it and climb around to eat mulberries. Usually you have to hunt a little bit, but not this year. I hadn't been down there until today. Holy mulberries! There were a ton! On one tree there are literally more mulberries than leaves. I thought the tree was partially dead. But when I got closer, that third of it was just covered with unripened mulberries and no leaves. I have to say...this was some good eatin'!
After the storm Sunday night, these little guys made an appearance. I have never been around puppies from birth and they have already stolen my heart. I can't wait until their eyes open and they are waddling about and giving me puppy kisses all over!
Lord, we praise you for all of this abundant life-giving rain you have been blessing us with. Thank you for trusting us to be good stewards of these blessings and we pray that we treat your land and those blessings with the utmost respect and care. Amen!
