Tuesday, August 17, 2021 Raining, lots of puddles, very still, no breeze 70 degrees 4:51 p.m.

Today we have had rain, a gentle, soaking, welcome rain. all the grass, trees and flowers are welcoming the nice deep drink;;, the gardens and fields are perking up and giving thanks for the wonderful water from heaven. All here are so thankful for the rain. We pray that the west will soon get a few days of a soaking, steady rain or snow as they need the water badly. The news this morning showed the Colorado River and Lake Mead. They are unbelievably low.

this has been a lazy day, not doing anything exciting, but slowly accomplishing little odd jobs that get set aside. I straightened the book case out, threw old notebooks that were full and very unimportant. am now doing a load of clothes, have done dishes and unpacked my overnight bag. Just little things. I guess the cats think it is a lazy day also as they have just laid around and snoozed all day. They now think that dinner time is getting close so they are present but not demanding.

Tina is at work,, works in the garden today so am curious as to if it was open today or not. They sometimes close it when the weather is bad. I don’t think this is bad weather, just rain. Of course the water is starting to get a bit deep in some places.

Have a great, enjoyable rest of your day. Make it positive, cheerful, adventurous, beautiful and full of thanks and blessings.
