RAIN!!!!!

I awoke to the wonderful sound of rain on the roof...almost a forgotten sound.  We had a nice steady rain for most of the morning and a light drizzle in the afternoon.  The fauna and flora in our yard are feeling much better now that they have gotten a good drink! I sat on the front porch for a while and took a few rain pictures...rain bouncing on the road and little birds taking shelter in the trees.

Woody didn't walk this morning due to the rain and also due to his mouth hurting a bit.  He did take a short walk with Elijah this afternoon.  Erin spent time with Graham this morning helping him understand more about a game she has on her computer.  After they did that for a while, Graham got Erin to do space battles with some of his K'nex creations. Joy and Abigail also came over for a while.  Abigail helped me make Cucumber Jello for Goosey (Woody). This afternoon Erin and I went to do a bit of shopping...we needed batteries and a few food items.  We came home and rested for a while and then got busy on our supper...Meatloaf Roll-up.  Woody is still pretty much eating soft food...but he did manage a few small bites of the meatloaf. The latest about his mouth after having a tooth pulled yesterday afternoon...he said that he can open his mouth a bit more this afternoon.  Erin and I got the kitchen cleaned up after supper and are now relaxing again.  We're waiting for Graham to join us.  He is spending the night with us because Nathan and Kathy need us to take him to church in the morning to catch a bus.  He is going to a weekend camp in Alabama.
