We have been receiving gentle rains for two days now. Tis a blessing and a relief. The fall planting of bulbs is now underway and the rains have softened our clay enough to let us dig.
I enjoy working in these gentle rains; wearing wellies and apron, it can be muddy. But then when a child I always played in the mud...some things do not change as we get older. Though mud pies have given way to apple pies, I still love the slosh and mess of the muddy hole. I know it as sign of life and growth.
That's me away.
Living our faith in plain and humble service to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior ... ORA ET LABORA +++ Sentire cum Ecclesia (to think and to feel with the Church)
Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12
Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.
St. John Paul II
I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI
But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Nothing better than being in dirt or mud! I love the feel of dirt and mud on my hands!
Thank God for the rain. We are finally getting some more. Too bad that it won't continue for at least a week.
I absolutely love thunderstorms! I love the way the rain smells, the sounds, the sights of lightining bouncing off things. It's so relaxing. I have some of those thunder sounding CD's that I enjoy listening too when I write my pen pals or I have had a bad day. Love 'em! :)
May God Bless the rest of your October!
Hugs,
Dawn
