The sun is shining and the wind is gently swaying every branch. The breeze is enough to cool the entire house despite the 80 degree day. I am glad to have the windows open finally, after several days of unbearable humidity.
We have had three visitors today. The first was our pastors wife and dear friend of mine. She just came for coffee and to see our new home. Peanut was so excited to have her come over. She showed off her bedroom and played quietly while we visited. To finish our visit, Peanut showed her the barn. She climbed up into the hay and played with the kittens and made our visitor laugh as she so lovingly choked and squeezed the kittens (not on purpose of course). It is so sweet to watch her stroke the kittens' heads with her cheek and talk so gently to them. I am so glad they put up with her torture, she just loves them to death.
It's amazing the things that can amuse a toddler. Yesterday she picked our first pepper out of the garden and you would have thought it was a golden nugget she was so happy and waited for Daddy to come home to show him. Today, I let her pick an apple, even though it could have used some more time to ripen. She didn't mind, she ate it, sour or not, she was sure excited.
Our second visitor of the day was Grandma. She just came over to have a cup of coffee and a muffin. Unfortunately, Peanut was sleeping and missed our visit. Grandma even stopped by later with my cousin to let him see the farm. It was great to see them both. I am blessed to have family so close, but yet not too close that they intrude on daily life. It's nice that they are close enough to visit though. Grandma is always a fun visitor. She is so cute and always makes me laugh.
Now, time to get the baby up and interrupt my quiet time so we can start our night of running. Lets see, first is shopping, than a tupperware party, church, and finally home to get everyone in bed. So, it has been a relaxing and fun day but will end hectic.
