The Weekend

It was a stressful weekend. I have an aunt, and an uncle in the hospitals. There is talk of a pandemic flu outbreak. We have friends going through some tough stuff, and we personally are struggling with a few issues. Amidst it all, though, we know God is still in control and we have to rely on that fact.

To unwind a bit, we left in the middle of a rain/snow storm and decided to go for a drive around a couple area lakes. I can unwind at a lake. There's just something about the water that brings me peace. Once we got out to the lakes, the sun was out and it was pretty. We saw ospreys, several types of ducks, a loon, grebes, yellow-headed and red-winged blackbirds, geese, herons, and deer. We just sat and listened to all the birds for awhile, and enjoyed the noise they were making.

I also got to enjoy some old barns, which is another favorite of mine.

It was nice to unwind a bit and enjoy some time with my hubby.
