A quiet morning.

 I love early morning when the air is crisp and the quiet is almost overwhelming.  The mind is at rest.   Later it fills up but early morning...it's the best time of day.  So today will be a return attempt to choir participation.  Yes...we'll see how that goes.  Paper is read, coffee and eggs still toped  with cottage cheese for moisture are settling down and the forever present garden walk is completed with a tie up of one of the snapdragons.  It got a push down with rain and with a little help, gravity will help pull it strait again.  The ground is still to wet for working and there is a promise of more rain today.  It's a gardeners life.  One never in complete control just reacting to what is the need of the day.  Deer tracks appeared this morning but all is present and in tact.  

It's Father's day with much thankfulness to the father of Doug, Rick and Dee named Clarence and known also  as C W Russell and to the father of our sons, Doug.  Another thanksgiving for our  sons Eric and Jared who are also fathers to their boys, our five grandsons who will some day perhaps chose to be fathers. There have been many Russell fathers through the years.  There is brother-in-law Rick,  the father of two children.  In our family there also brother-in-law  Dee better known by many as Cassion who is a priestly Father who shepherds many people. Perhaps a first for this Russell family.   Fathers come in many forms with many responsibilities.    

So...soon off to church for another Sunday of being together with friends making music together.  

Thanks be to God for many reasons, one being continued healing and for fathers.
