Usually every summer there are a few mornings when I can go out onto our porch and enjoy the beautiful weather, but this summer has been exceptional. I have enjoyed a lot of mornings on my porch. This will be a summer to remember. Yesterday I grabbed my cup of coffee and in my comfy loungies (I'm in the country, I can do that) I went out onto our porch to sit with the Lord. It was perfect! The sun was coming up and there was a peace that only comes from above. I snapped this picture because I never want to forget it, but the memory is so much better than the photo. I felt His presence and I felt so blessed to experience a little bit of Heaven.

We always have too many barn cats. This year I have become a little attached to them. I'm thinking it's because we lost both of our dogs last year and it's a quiet summer without them. We have a mother named Cleo and her two little ones. Tyrus named the chubby one Putters. He's my favorite and of course he won't let me get near him because I like him. I did manage to get a little close to him during his afternoon nap though. I'm hoping by the end of the summer he will like me a little more. He's shy, quiet and doesn't trust anyone.

Then there is Callie who Emma named. She never leaves you along and is pretty scrawny. Here she is sneaking a drink. I don't think that kitten will ever learn to eat food.

If this is global warming then Praise the Lord! I am loving this summer and you will not hear me complaining about the weather. Soon my yard will be hinting to me that fall is approaching so I will be enjoying every morning that I can on my front porch.
