Rain Idea, Day 5

Yesterday we put up couple bird feeders.  I have an Ace Hardware coupon, I will get some bird feed today.  We try to get big project stuff at larger town big stores, but try to give day to day grocery and small project needs to local Ace Hardware and Grocery stores.  This morning I had to take the pup to get her last booster shot.  Appt was at 8:30.  I woke up at 8am and realized suddently.  It took me 10 min to get ready and dressed, out the door.  I was still there in 5 min.  Our vet is literally 4 miles tops.  In the city we drove 35 - 45 min.  This is such a treat.  In 7 weeks or pup has gained 10 pounds!

Sat night,  rain falling ..gave me an idea...for a rain chime.  I quickly googled whether something like that existed.  Our bedroom windows are on north and east sides, in NE corner of house.  Our bed is between 2 windows on north side.  The north side of our house is a tall pitch with no gutter, so the water drips down and is loud.  I like it.  I also like that our bedroom is the coldest part of the house.  At City House, bedroom was hottest corner of house and we had vaulted ceilings which magnified the temperature disparity.

There are such things as rain chimes.  You can google.  I am not sure how to attach a picture of a google image search.  I will try.  They are basically a line of metal objects (small bowls or baskets/chain that gathers the rain and channels it downward, amplifying the sound of water.  I am going to be on the lookout for old brass candle holders at the thrift store.  I found a tutorial on You Tube.  I am going to have it/them empty into a rain barrel.

Coming this spring!  Have a great day.  Today I am gong to relax and fix us something healthy to eat.  We are both feeling like kids the day after Halloween binge.  We will still have cake for breakfast once in a while.  But that needs to be the occasional treat, not the norm.  Then I think I am going to plant my other 2 mums and gradually begin my shift to Christmas décor.  Help DH get his hunting trip packing/prep finished.  Walk the dog, if the weather allows.

I am having a little stomach nausea going on 3 days now after my flu shot.  Figuring this is normal.  I have only had the flu shot once or twice before.  Don't remember.

I was on the phone with a family member for an hour this morning, catching up.  I have a few family members that are struggling with physical, mental burdens right now.  It is heavy and I pray for them.
I am grateful that I have a day to day walk with God and I can go to him for support.
