Blissful Wednesday

In spite of intimidating weather reports of a snow storm moving into our area, today was actually quite beautiful.

I was awakened early EARLY by Kate who joined us in bed and spent quite some time discussing Grass and Orange (the cats) and how much she loved them and how cute they were and so on and so on. They both took up residence right on her chest and I asked her several times if she could breath. She was as pleased as could be with their attention and wouldn't consider asking them to move. I finally convinced her to go back to sleep around 5:00 am so I could get a little more sleep before I had to start the day.

Wednesdays are the days I spent 2 hours at Bible Study Fellowship. It is absolutely a shot in the arm in a hectic and crazy world. There are 7 different studies and this year we are studying Moses from the Old Testament. Don't be surprised to hear that Moses is really a fascinating read even though it is what many feel is the "dull" half of the bible. My experience has been quite the opposite. As we are well into our last half of the study year we are so close to the Israelites making it into the promised land we can almost taste it. With the help of a great teaching leader and discussion leaders every week has something fantastic in store.

After BSF, it was just Hadley and I to run errands because Kate had stayed home with Betty. We made a fun stop at Joann's fabric store where Hadley picked up a couple of craft projects that we will do later in the week for fun. Then it was time to head home so Hadley could spend the afternoon with her grandma and I could make a bee line for the horses! It has been so long since I had a good opportunity to RIDE and RIDE I did!! Ahhhh......horses, dogs and the wide open space... nothing quite like it. I rode Elvis and ponied Cruiser along for the sights and the dogs ran to their hearts content. I believe living on a farm has got to be almost every dogs slice of heaven. It was so wonderful to get out and make such a good use of a sunny afternoon.

And with that report, I better go stack wood and prepare for the storm that is supposed to roll in. Until later, Adios!
