Beth! How are you today--has it been a good one.(((hugs)))
Hope everyone here is having a most wonderful day!(((many hugs)))
Let me tell you about my morning in the country. Got up at 9am, went and sat on the back porch with my aunt and as a cool breeze ruffled our hair, we watched the bunnies that live under a big bush in her back yard play around the yard, heard some coyotes singing down by their water tank, watched a pair of road-runners trotting around--they have a nest in their pecan tree, and had hummingbirds zooming around our heads going to the feeder on the porch. Is it great or what!!!
