Simply Iowa September 4 2019

Mark Wills - Don't Laugh At Me (Official Video)

The Morning Dew.


The morning is slippin' away, fast!
So...just a short post.
Have to get out the door, and work down the rabbit hole, for a couple of hours, then...
head over to the Estate Sale, that'll be at the end of September.
Went outside... this Beautiful...Morning, with my 'Morning Dew'... {Coffee. : ) }
Sat, and soaked the Sun....in.
 Watched the Busy Traffic, fly by.
Folks...in a hurry to get where they need to be.
I captured a video... I'll post, later.
: )
Felt a twinge of melancholy, as I looked off in the distance, now....
saw the Sun, glistening off of the heavy Dew, that's laden down the Corn's Tassels.
The Corn Field, used to be so much...closer.
Also, was sad....because I saw my breath, this morning.
Soon, leaves will be falling, and....before we know it, the snow, will...as well. 
Went to 'Mediation', at the Courthouse...yesterday.
Sadly, it went...like...I, kind of expected it to.
The city, won't bend...at all. I, tried. Even more, than I thought I could.
The Lawyer, we have...is Great. Very kind, and caring. : )
Looks like we'll be going to Trial. 
That'll be in mid October.
I've Prayed...a Lot, about all of this.
The Lord, I...believe, wants me to forge ahead.
I, gotta tell ya, after the last 3 years, battling with the city, I'm pretty weary.
It's all, so senseless.... another Battle, over something, that never should be. 
: (
But, I...know, I'll find the strength, to carry on. 
So many times, over my life....I've Thanked God, for the unanswered Prayers.
He, Knows....what the future holds.
How...the puzzle pieces, all...fit together. 
I, have to Trust.
<3
 Took the picture above...the other day, looking out the back door, of the rabbit hole.
There's on old, old...Pie Safe door, over the glass.
It reminded me, of something....I'd shared with our Lawyer, yesterday.
As I walked into the Courthouse, that was filled with so many...Folks, waiting, for their Cases to be heard, I was taken back.
The variety of Folks.
Every walk of life.
I've 'Known'...most every one of them,
over my life. 
From... the little Child, 
who was waiting with Family, as they argued...amongst themselves, 
soaking in the turmoil....like a sad, little sponge.... : (
 The Folks, who...were close to being Homeless, because...they'd lost everything, including,
 much... of their sanity. 
: ( : ( : ( 
Told our Lawyer, tho....I make little money, I'd never want to be a Judge, or...a Lawyer, a Deputy....or in Law Enforcement. : (
I've lived down the rabbit hole, for so long....
I'd forgotten, how 'The Real World', is.
Life, is all about The Journey, and....I, have seen Much, on mine.
I count my Blessings, that I've been sheltered...by the Rabbit Hole's loving arms, over the last, many...many...years. 
Hard work, long hours, lots...of struggles, and, chaos....
but...
so, very...Blessed.
I, may be...an old...Mad Hatter, but...I'm Thankful.
<3 <3 <3 
 Got to get Moving. 
Head down...that Rabbit Hole, 
to...my Sanctuary, that...shelters me....from 'reality'
The 'real'...'World'. 
Love, to You.
Barb C.
{Praying for all...who Suffer, and Struggle, today. Hope, You...will, too. <3 
There are Many. }
