Busy, busy, busy...

Life has been extra busy these past few weeks. Birthdays, anniversarys, Mother's Day, doctors appts., etc. I like to blog on a regular basis and lately it's been more irregular. We've had so much rain. I asked God if it could just rain at night for the next few times because we really needed the sunshine. Today was beautiful. John and I were coming back from Frederick and took a few scenic roads home. I love to look at farms. The fields were just dotted with bright yellow buttercups. It reminded me of being a kid, picking one, and holding it under each other's chin to prove we liked butter. The recent rains have flooded many of the area's creeks and rivers. The Monocacy was way out of its banks. The creek on Peter's Road near our house (not close enough to cause a problem) was right up to the bottom of the bridge. You could tell it had been over the bridge because there were a few limbs teetering on the edge of the bridge. The usual meandering creek was a fury of rushing water today. How quickly things can change in our lives much like the water in the creek. I'm trying to appreciate each day and the beauty of God's handiwork around us.
