Rain is on the way again overnight. We have been getting rain pretty often here lately. Everything is looking good here on the mountain with each rainfall we get. Sitting on our patio on this beautiful day and taking in all the beauty of nature as it keeps unfolding and thanking God for His great handiwork. The mountain’s landscape behind our house is different each morning as I look out the patio doors. So many shades of green to admire including the trees that have put on leaves now clear up to the top of the mountain. This kind of peaceful setting will take you away better than Calgon ever could.

We’ve got all kinds of bugs coming our way as if we don’t have enough going on in our lives to contend with each day. The cicadas/locusts as I call them that show up every few years are due back this year. These critters do damage to our trees, and they make a loud noise. You will definitely know when they are around. Pesky mosquitoes, Japanese beetles, termites, and stink bugs around this time of year so be ready for the invasion of these insects.

With the arrival of spring comes the dreadful task of taking down spider webs or cobwebs as I refer to them. When you can’t recollect the last time you did this chore, it is most likely way overdue. You just hope you can get the job done before someone comes calling and you can see them looking at the ceiling and walls. That could be truly an embarrassing moment couldn’t it? Since I’m one of those people that can’t remember bringing down any spider webs this past year, today would be the way to remedy that. I’m thinking maybe a little note on the calendar hanging in the kitchen would be the way to remind me of this event for future reference.

Please keep in prayer: Treva White, Wendy Hildreth, Rose Watts, Ruth Bown, Jeff Brown, Helen Nixon, Charlie Mai Daniel, Ethelene Pedigo, Jeanette Smithson, Ronald Lawson, and the families of Talmage Young and Jimmy Arnold and also those families that have lost loved ones due to the corona virus and other tragedies.

Hope you make it to church this Sunday to praise and worship the Lord. We have an awesome God that loves all of us.
