Sights and Sounds of a Monday Morning Walk
First of all, in my last blog, I showed you a picture of a stone by a rabbit hole, I asked you what you thought this was according to Archie. It was of course a refrigerator for Peter Rabbit. I must stress it was a refrigerator and not a fridge. Who knew rabbits needed such things.
Well, I have tried to upload some pictures for this weeks but for some reason, my computer isn't playing ball. You will just have to use your imagination.
Last Monday, after a very dreary and dull weekend (weather-wise), Archie and I went for a walk. We didn't wander too far, exploring the lane not far from my bungalow. Needless to say after all the rain there was copious amounts of puddles for Archie and nana of course to splash in.
It was lovely to hear the squelch of our wellies as trampled in the mud beside the puddles. One puddle was so deep and full of mud that it surged over the top of Archie's wellies. He was not at all perturbed by this and thought it was great fun.
A little further along the lane, there was a shallow puddle and a tiny little sparrow was having a wonderful time splashing and preening himself. The children in nearby school had just come out to play and it was very uplifting to hear them laughing, and shouting as they played. Not something we have heard very much of in the past year.
Whilst we were out walking Archie collected stones and took great delight in throwing them into puddles and watching as the water is sprayed everywhere. He has become very discerning about which stones are acceptable or not. The bigger the better.
As we wandered further down the lane Archie and I stopped to listen to the birds. They were certainly enjoying the morning sunshine as they sat in the hedgerow and treetop branches chirping away.
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the simple pleasures of life, help us not to take these pleasures for granted.
Amen
