New Day Rising

Sitting at the window with a hot strong cup of coffee, just as the sky began to lighten, I was able to enjoy the deep purple toward the west with the bands of clouds in the east reflecting the pink and orange colors of the rising sun. What a beautiful day! Feeling the coolness of our open window, smelling a bit of wood smoke in the air and hearing the birds welcome the brand new day I wanted to burst into song but somehow thought the neighbors might get upset so didn't.
Jenis was still in last night and was covered easily, hopefully she will be out today. Breyer must be done today if she is still in. Dr. Hoerr's office must be called to arrange health papers for Bunni and Mika. Mike is taking them to Colorado for his big elk hunting trip and leaving right after Labor day holiday.
Tuesdays are what Eva Jean calls the 'blessed day' as we GET to work together on the prison Bible study program, meet for lunch with the Meister workers, then in the evening on Tuesdays, starting in September is choir practice. Last year for choir it was the best of the best of the last 40 years. At the benefit dinner we sang our very favorites, well the CD was out waiting at church to be picked up. I placed one in my computer and enjoyed those songs all day yesterday. We can't wait to see what Wayne Klopfenstein comes up with this year. How will he ever be able to top last year.
Right after Mark pulled out to head to work he calls to say a little horse is out running around. Sure enough Jenis' colt was out and so glad to get in with his mom to nurse. There were no downed boards and the gate was shut, we will have to watch this as Jenis who is NOT mom of the year will NOT let us know her baby is not with her. Shame on her!
