This Week at Iten's Acres: Three Days November 28, 2015

Two beautiful days at The Acres. Couldn't have asked for better weather. And tomorrow should be great too--until the evening showers. And I love showers. My soul is overwhelmed with the serenity of God's creation--and its gentle quietness. Thank You, Lord. Now, I was thinking that for Christmas break . . .

Day three is "in the books." Strange, I know, but I love walking and "working" in a soft rain. (Even sitting on the green throne.) I could, of course, use another month or so to get the things done I'd like to do, but a day at a time. It's a while til spring. And it is amazing as I clear some of the wildness in the front of The Acres how many things that were in "hiding" have been doing just fine. Unlike we humans they don't need to be noticed to keep on being faithful--growing and spreading, waiting for their season to bear fruit. The goldfish, too, seem to like the rain. Tons of them at the very top of the pond seemingly enjoying the showers. Different kind of wet, I guess. And I still have a crab apple that refuses to surrender its leaves. I won't complain. By the way, one of my new neighbor's dogs is named Annabel Lee. He's a Dublin policeman, so I (judgmentally) assume he's not a Poe fan. Maybe his wife is an English teacher? Wouldn't that be scary for the hopes of Morrow County. Two English teachers living next to each other. Horrors!!! I wonder what the other dog's name is? Pendulum? Pit? Ah, well. The three days are gone. Loved everyone of them. Well, I do love just about every day. Gifts to be thankful for, are they not? Don't forget to tell Him.
