Tuesday, March 16, 2024 Raining, Cloudy, Cool Still, 58 Degrees 4:27 p.m.
don’t know when it started raining, but it was raining when I got up this morning, and it is still raining. Just a nice, gentle rain. I am noticing that the trees are starting to get leaves on all the branches. I believe they are getting dressed for spring to be in their finest by the time summer arrives. So many trees are in bloom now; the pear tree, the redbud tree, the dogwood tree and a few more. Spring brings out the very best of trees, flowers and shrubs, slowly but surly. And, the air is so fresh smelling. (not when the wind is blowing and the pollen is flying).
Today I have worked on the office duties, talked on the phone, had company and enjoyed it all. I didn’t dare start to much on the computer as the power went off several times this morning. I also didn’t go up stairs as I was afraid that the power would go out while I was in the chair and halfway up or down the stairs. Once you are in the chair it is difficult to get out of it if you aren’t on the top or bottom floor. I didn’t want to chance it. I can do enough goofy things without falling out of the chair that we have for safety.
To wake up to the news of the bridge collapsing in Baltimore was such a shock. I am thankful that it wasn’t the middle of the day and loaded with rush hour traffic. It is dad enough that the men working on the bridge, filling in potholes lost their lives. My heart goes out to their families and friends. I am thankful that the barge captain sent a “may day, may day” call to authorities so that they could close the bridge and keep traffic from entering prior to the crash. Such a sad way to start the day in Baltimore. My prayers go out to all there.
Here, our news is the rain with high winds in the higher elevations. We haven’t had even a breeze and that is nice. The rain will end tonight and tomorrow is to be sunny and bright, And a bit warmer. Sierra has missed laying in the sun, and the birds haven’t been out and about so much today. Just the doves.
Quote of the day: “The Lord’s chief desire is to reveal Himself to you and, in order for Hm to do that, He gave you abundant grace. The Lord gives you the experience of enjoying His presence. He touches you, and His touch is so delightful that more then ever, you are drawn inwardly to Him.” Madam Jeanne Guyon, 1648 – 1717, French Christian.
Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a true “Taco Tuesday” by eating tacos. We are having hamburgers. Have a terrific, adventurous, exciting and fun day.
Blessings
