Happy Fourth

No activities. No fireworks. We did cook out on the grill. Papa and Gammy are here (my parents). We've had a rainy Independence Day. I'm so thankful for this rain. We just went outside for a little fresh air. Nathan is riding Tyke inside the barn and listening to the rain fall on the metal roof. Our mockingbird family (the one outside our playroom window) is doing well ;).

The baby birds are gaining strength and growing larger. I've had the best time watching them from eggs to now fluffing their feathers and stretching their wings. I love their parents' aggressiveness as our cat, Princess, enjoys bird hunting and, well, it would break my heart to see anything happen to them now. I know, it happens. But I don't want to see it.

We cooked hamburgers on the grill, in between rain showers, and thanked the Lord for our freedom. The freedom to worship. Freedom to dream. Freedom to live.

Happy Fourth!
