Sept. 14, 2012

We have had a nice rain, starting about 1:00 yesterday afternoon.  Last time I checked it was still coming down this morning.  The high yesterday was in the 60's and it was very pleasant. 

I needed to take Tim to town to work yesterday morning, and also had to stop by the church. When I got to the church, JD was there with Allie, so I took her with us. She was a good girl and had a good time in town. She used to not want to go. She is getting to be a pretty big girl.  We played in the basement some with her when we got back. 

I am getting ready to go to Colorado.  Robin, Becky, and I are going out to take  Mama.  She is going to stay with Aunt Shirley for a time, and we are going to drop her off in Buena Vista at Aunt Shirley's.  I will stay with Jennifer and Joel, and Robin and Becky are staying with Cathy, Robin's sister-in-law in Colorado Springs.  We will come back on Monday morning.  Jennifer said the aspens are turning, and I looking forward to seeing that.

David and Alex were spending last night, so I asked them if they would like to sleep out on the deck in the screen house. They helped put it up, and we brought up mattresses to lay on, plus a reclining lawn chair. It was a perfect night to sleep out, and we watched the space station go over and satellites too. Alex and Grandpa ended up sleeping in the house, but David and I stuck it out.

We are having a wonderful
 cool morning, with a little
rain shower thrown in. Our
evening was very relaxing,
and we spent about an hour
on the deck in the swing just
 watching the clouds go by. 
The sunset was gorgeous.



The barn swallows were lined up on the electric lines side by side almost clear down to the road.  They were feeling their oats and zipping all around the house.  One flew right in front of us, about 2 feet in front of our swing.  What a wonder it is to watch the day burst into such glorious color and then fade into night!
