Wednesday Whatever

 

Here Come the "Ber" months

This has been all I am reading about...how so many people are excited that the "ber" months are coming.  I am not excited.  I think spring and summer went by too fast and I want them to stay awhile longer.  If you are one of the fan club members of the "ber" months then I suppose you are very happy.  However, if you are like me...spring and summer 2027 can't come soon enough.

August was an interesting month.  

My oldest son and dil and grandpuppy had to evacuate twice because of the fires in Reno, NV.  Luckily their home was not damaged and they weren't out of it for too long.

Tree cutters came to take down 2 trees that we were worried might fall on the house during one of the UP's "ber" months winter storms. They had them cutdown, cleaned up the entire area w/blower & rakes and filled in holes made by the trunks of trees in a little more than 2 hours.

Pepe LePew (the skunk digging up our side yard)and his buddy have been very busy.  We see them out there digging for bugs as soon as it gets dark.

We saw a buck in the backyard which is unusual.  In the 50+ years, we have lived here, we have only seen a buck 3 times.

See you in September!!

Wednesday Words and Music

 UPDATE:  My eldest son and dil and grandpuppy were allowed to go home on Monday night as the Reno Fire was 27% contained and there was no longer a danger to their neighborhood.  Thank all of you who sent prayers out to them.  Please continue to pray and send good thoughts out to those still in evacuation, those who have lost their homes and for the emergency personnel who have been working tirelessly to contain this fire.

Wednesday Words and Music

These are the songs that I go to whenever there is stress in my life.  I love the music and the words are very inspirational to me. For example; "Be Not Afraid"...I seem to start singing that to myself whenever I have found myself in the middle of a health crisis.  It gives me a sense of faith that I will be able to handle anything that will come upon me.

"Be Not Afraid" by John Michael Talbot

"On Eagle's Wings" by Michael Joncas

"He Raised Me Up" by  Josh Groban

"You've Got a Friend" by James Taylor

"Bridge Over Troubled Waters" by Simon and Garfunkle

Concerns

 I had planned to post this past weekend but plans change.  My oldest son and dil had to evacuate once again on Saturday for the "Hawk" fire in Reno, NV.  They and my grandpuppy are living in a hotel in northern California.  Right now, there is no end in sight for going back to their home. However, on the good side, their home is still safe.

Please keep them and all the residents as well as emergency personnel in your thoughts and prayers.
