I was answering an email from a friend with an update on what I'd been up to. When I wrote it all down I was exhausted. I've been told that when you have a drastic change in your life you need to fill the void with other things. Hope I haven't over done the filling.
I'm cooking a meal for an older couple on Monday and Tuesday nights. Every other Wednesday we have "Soup Day" here at the house at noon after service. I still work at the restaurant on Thursday and Friday. I will start this Thursday night with a "Family bible study" night for friends who don't have a family. Turns out there are a lot of us. Weekends are always filled with service and family. Madison and I are trying to learn Spanish. If you ever want to feel really "brainless" try learning a foreign language.
With the weather getting better that means the yard has to be cleaned up. Started cleaning out the pond in the back yard. I need to change the filter for the fountain. That's at the bottom and that is filled with old mucky water and everything that accumulated during the winter. Yuk. Need to clean out the chicken coop. Another Yuk. It will all be worth it in the end. I love to hear the water in the fountain when the doors are open with the good weather. My chickens are my joy. Especially Dusty. She is a little black banty with feathers on her feet (hence, Dusty=dusters on feet-get it?). The other girls are so much bigger so they pick on her. She has become very attached to me and actually likes to be held and petted. I love that.
I'm sure that all of you find that every day brings its own challenges. Right now writing this is not coming as easy as it usually does so I am going to stop. I hope all of you have a wonderful week.
