The Beginning of a Change

We are in the midst of a climate change here in Roundup. The temperatures are cooling off. The trees are starting to change color. There is a small amount of something falling from the sky. It is rumored to be rain.

We've heard of rain before. It is that phenomenon that allows grass to grow, trees to live, wells to refill, rivers and streams to flow full. But never this entire summer have we seen this happen.

So thanks be to God for His wonderful gift of seasons changing and rain. Autumn. It comes early here.

Yesterday we ventured down to Billings. Billings is now the hot spot in our state for this virus problem. So there were people wearing masks again, but by far the majority are not. I did not, nor did my hubby. Things are not bad here in town. A few people sick, but no big epidemic. So we continue on with our life.

A quiet afternoon is in store. We volunteer at the museum on Friday afternoons from May through September. It's a nice time to read, talk with visitors, or just sit and do nothing.

And there is great value in doing nothing sometimes. We should all try it. Just sit and think. Let your mind wander. Daydream.

Wonderful things sometimes come to those who dream.
