Tim's Birthday

Happy 14th Birthday TIM

My grandson, Timothy Bowman, turns 14 today.  He is a wonderful young man and his grandpa would be very proud of him.  They were down last week and he really took good care of me.  One morning he  helped with put away the chairs and cleaned up the table after we had breakfast on the deck. He opened doors for me several times without having to be asked and I think he will make some young woman a fine husband--so watch out girls!

The temps have changed quiet a bit here in the Wilderness.  The air is much cooler than it has been.  A nice breeze has been blowing.  This morning while out walking( with Molly at my feet) I could here the crickets and frogs.  And the birds were just singing like you would not believe.  The Wilderness is alive once again with not only music but color.  That rain (storm) we got the other morning made all the trees/plants come alive.

Its great to be out in the Wilderness just wondering around-- no cares nor problems to be concerned
about all is well and that's how it should be. 

September 1st the photo club will be going to Clinton, AR to the Chuck Wagon Races--See you there. 

Rain

Our Wilderness is "happy" today because of the little bit of rain we got yesterday afternoon.  We had to make a trip to Hamburg and got rained on just a little bit before we returned but when we returned and saw that it had sprinkled even just a little We Were So Happy!  The trees and flowers look so pretty today because of the rain.  I wish we could receive more just so the trees would not die.  God has a way of taking care of the trees and I'm so glad he planned it that way--when he build this earth--when trees are under a lot of stress they can shut themselves down; sure, some will die that's nature but not all. That's one reason I know there is a God--Man could not do such a thing.

We will he headed to the lake this morning (to meet our children) leaving Bailey in charge.  We will be back early because they only have 3 days and they have a lot to do in LR.  So it will be another "run-up and run-back--we never get to stay long anymore.

Hope you have a great day in the Wilderness!  Enjoy
