Running in the Rain, almost

When I saw it raining this morning I thought I was going to get a nice long walk in the rain when I went out to exercise. I envisioned myself in my favorite Seattle hoody and mud boots getting my two miles in nice and slowly. But it warmed up, the rain quit, and by mid-afternoon when I was ready to go all that was left of the storm was a cloud cover. So I doned my traditional running outfit (running shorts and a tank-top) and set out. I decided to walk a lot of the way so I would have more time to pray, but when I started back towards the house I saw the rain hanging down out of the clouds. I ran the rest of the way home, and just as I hit the top of the driveway it started to rain.

I know it is hard to see the rain in this picture, but I had only been back for a few minutes before it started pouring. Talk about God's perfect timing! :D

In other news, Leah had a major accomplishment in the last few days. Sending off cattle she had raised from birth. She was pretty pleased, as well she should be!

Dad waiting for lunch... It was the best lamb I have had in ages. Trina is getting to be a pretty amazing cook!

This is a random picture of the clouds that I took a few days back. I am not a very good photographer, but Timothy came racing into the house begging me to come and take a picture of the clouds. The clouds were phenomenal, even if I could not capture it very well.

Coming soon... Rosie learns to cook. So far she has made/assisted in making French bread and banana smoothies. Next up, gingersnaps and a blog post with all the pictures!
