all of God's creatures

Fun Friday, week 3

We got off to a slow start. I had to work in the morning and then had a late morning doctor's appointment. It just so happened to be James day to be in town so we met up with him for lunch and then drove over to a nearby park.

At the park we watched the turtles and fish in the pond then decided to take a hike along a trail. The butterflies and dragon flies just fluttered around us as we walked. We did make a little stop along the way at a playground where Jared and Jeff played follow-the-leader on a playground. Jen enjoyed a swing there while I RESTED in the SHADE. It was hot but at least it wasn't really humid. So we just wondered farther along the trail, which was more like a mowed path of grass around the perimeter of the 'woods', until we found a path thru that we thought might be a shortcut....turned out it took us backwards not forwards....sigh

We finally made it around to another playground and that is where we came upon a little girl sitting at a picnic table petting a little kitten. Jen started asking her about the kitty and she said that it had just wondered up to her. Knowing we were dealing with a poor kitty that had been dumped Jen asked if her mom was going to let her keep the kitty and went over to talk to the little girl's mom. Anyway, it turned out that we brought home this tiny little kitten that is no more than skin stretched over bone. It's too sad. We will fatten her up and try to find a good home for her. The only problem has been Saphira, another rescue kitty. She is having hissy fits over another kitty in her space. She was mad at *ME* and refused to have anything to do with me until we put the new kitty in another room.

After leaving the park, we visited my mom for an hour or so. It has been nice to see her on a regular basis.

We did, indead, unknowingly bring home more of God's creature's..........remember the stroll thru the woods earlier??? We collected a bushel of chiggers along the way and now we are itching, itching, itching our way thru the day!
