Today at Iten's Acres: First Day May 25, 2015

The first day of the hermitage for the summer of 2015 has come and gone. A strange day in some ways. The morning was good--walk, new irises, the hibiscus are coming up. Got started on the new beds. It has been too long since I spent four hours plus on real physical labor. Ugh. Was hoping for some rain, but none came. So, I watered a few things. Filled up the bird baths. It will rain tomorrow for sure now. I worry about my renters in the mailbox. A good wind has been known to send that thing flying. Without wings.
The strange thing about this first day was that the hermit went to a graduation party. Yep, real people were there. Lots of them. I actually tried to go to two, but couldn't find the first one. I can get lost even with mapquest. Sorry Kathryn. I love you! The one I got to was for a gang of the gentlemen of WC--the football crew. Super young men. First day of their lives as college freshmen to be. I have no doubt that the Lord has His eyes on them. I'll pray that they remember that every day for the rest of their lives. A good truth to keep focusing on--for all of us.
Anyway, despite spending time with people, this old hermit had a good day. Lots of time outside, working and, of course, sitting on the green throne at the top of the hill. Even got to read a little bit--biography of King James I. Two and half months left. One day at a time.
