My neighbors are not really big on Mowing I'm thinking, for most of the year their yard looks for all the world like the African jungles.. totally un-kept.

 Rain  saturday : I woke to the melody of rain dancing on my rooftop, it was the weekend and the house was quiet and still, so I snuggled down a bit deeper and pulled the covers around me a little...to grow stronger each day.. as I snuggled there, in complete contentment and peace feeling God's love wrapped around me, as snugly as my blanket, I knew it was going to be  a good day .
