What a wonderful week ahead, it's going to really rain all week. The flower beds and veggie garden are going to love it. On the other side of the iron fence is a retention pond. When it pours, water can't soak into the ground or run down drains fast enough. So there is a wide pond that will take the runoff and drain into a very large drain pipe. Once it rained a couple of hours today, the area was filled with a strange buzzing noise. I am guessing it's frogs, but I guess I need to do some checking. It's like living in a small swamp area in a Louisiana bayou. The water may all be gone by morning. I love to hear the throbbing sound produced by the creatures, like hearing a soft rain or far away rumbling that can put you to sleep.
The storm made several large crashing sounds this afternoon, sounding as though all the walls of the house would come tumbling down. The resounding crashes were all too near my home.
Tomorrow I have to get back on a sewing project that started with a page with an empty cross. Each child colored or decorated their papers and I am transferring their art to cloth. A large cross will be the center and the smaller pictures go around the four sides.
Eventually I will get back to my general sewing of masks, baby gifts, wood crosses and a variety of other crafts. I also have to do the ordinary things, like clean house, wash my car, and refill the trim line in the weed eater. I recently joined a group at a nearby church in a quilting group. Several ladies make quilts and baby blankets for those in need. I enjoy fellowship with the ladies and ability to help others. Helps keep my mind active.
How are you able to serve others?
