THANKFUL FOR A LITTLE RAIN

 Up to get a busy day started. All three grand girls are here again today while RL's other g-ma is still feeling under the weather. I got chores done and then grabbed a breakfast bar and coffee before getting the truck loaded up with cake and egg orders to add to our weekly errand trip today. Our first stop was the Curb Market to meet an egg customer and a cake customer .  I am very grateful for orders these days as business is still very slow to non existent at market .  I talked to a market member who has been going to market regularly and he said customers are few and very few vendors are braving coming back yet.   We left market and made stops at Sav Mor grocery, the dump/recycle center and the PO before heading home . The girls were all troopers and CA napped.  They weren't hungry when we got home so hubbie and I ate out lunch while CA napped and IR and RL played under the dining room table with castles and dolls.          After we ate they decided they were ready for lunch so they ate mac and cheese and spaghetti .   After they ate I took them outside so CA could continue her nap.  It is cloudy and looks like rain any minute today and there is a breeze that makes it feel chilly. RL started not feeling well and was laying in my lap when her mom came to pick her up early after getting her bus drivers license.  She took RL home for a nap to hopefully feel better by gymnastics time. Daughter picked up IR and CA . Hubbie and I watched the news while it came a nice rain shower that dropped about 1/3rd inch in the gauge.  Thankfully RL was feeling better after a nap and went to gymnastics with IR and wore their matching outfits.

After the rain things look so much brighter and this Kousa Dogwood really perked up as all the blooms had the limbs really bent down. From the looks of all these blooms there will be plenty of berries for the birds winter diet this year.

After I finished chores I sat out in the covered patio and watched the sun set behind the clouds as a heavy mist settles over the mountains.

We are hoping for more rain overnight but we are very thankful for what we got.   I spent the evening icing the cakes I baked last night.

Thankful for the blessings of this day.

God Bless and Good Night
