Sunday refreshements...

started with sleeping in until 7:30 AM. That is not really late, but it is as late as the four-legged one will allow me to sleep (she is also not big on us taking naps.) She does not want to go out for her morning reprieves - she just wants to be sure we are aware it is light outside and therefore we should be up. She is worse than a rooster!

We started getting ready for church when she took off again - we called and DH searched, but she escaped for another "adventure of discovery" again. We finally left and headed out for services at the first church we planned to try. It was frustrating and worrisome to leave her out like that, but not much to be done. She is worse than a rebellious teen-ager and DH and I already went through that stage with the kids.

We attended worship at Fellowship of the Hills. It is a small non-denominational church that currently operates in a large metal building. Folks were friendly. The congregatiuon might be 50 if you count the kids. Still, it was uplifting, filled with the Word and how to apply it to your life. I believe DH and I will attend again.

Got more chores done around the homestead. Needed rain, which came later. Took some vegetables over to the folks, and visited briefly. On the way back home from their place, we ran into a mama bear and her cub. Mama was sitting on the roadside and baby was playing below. We startled them and they high-tailed it up a nearby tree. Mama came on back down, but baby remained aloft, peeking around the tree at us. We decided to move on so they wouldn't be so upset. There have been three up at the folks place and they are very active this season. Plenty to eat right now with the wild blueberries and raspberries in the woods and streams full of trout. (Of course, I don't think they avoid the trash cans if left unattended - it is their version of 7-11 quickie mart for a snack!)

Rainy weather should cool it down a little and will get our road ready for the graders this week. I love the rain on the tin(metal) roof.....

Be blessed,
Kim
