I’m back with more

I am at the Beal’s house watching the girls and Jack, the prettiest dog I know.  We took a picnic lunch and walked up by the lake, hoping to sit near the stream to eat our lunch. The weather was gorgeous and warm. No, actually, it was downright hot. When we arrived, there were several guys swimming and fishing, so we decided to find a different place. We found a flat spot on the top of a hill with a beautiful view and some trees for shade.  The steak sandwiches, potato salad, and home-made lemonade were delicious.  We read a book to each other while Cassia sketched, found interesting shapes in the clouds, and came across a solo yellow orchid in the middle of the wild brush.  A couple of dark clouds rolled in, but quickly blew away, and did not compromise our outing.  We were home in plenty of time to tune in to our home church’s live stream Sunday morning service.  It has been a nice, relaxing day.  Except for the very fresh moist cow pie I stepped in just before we got home. I guess there’s a first time for everything.
