Loaded... for Gold Rush. {mostly}

'These... Days'...

often wonder what lesson's the

 Good Lord, 

and...

The...

 Universe....

 are trying to teach.

: )

???

{not one word... Gail. ; ) <3}

Can think of Two...

'lessons'

mighty quick.

Number One...

 would be

 'Gratitude'.

<3

Number Two...

would be

'Patience'.

; )

<3

<3

Gratitude... Comes Easy.

Oh... Dear Lord, I Have So Much, and Many....

to be 

Grateful For.

<3 <3 <3 

When I think about how Incredibly Blessed I am, 

wow, just....

Wow.

<3

The 'patience'... 

thing.

: )

 Workin' on it.

: )

 long...

 day, that unfortunately 

ended a bit earlier than I'd hoped it would.

It Is... what it is.

; )

We loaded Dale's Ford Transit with a very light...

load, 

for 

'Simply Iowa'.

Dale said... "My Van is bigger than your Flatbed Ford Ranger, but...

we'll Never be able to get near as much in my Van, as you do... on your Truck."

; )

That's a 'fact'.

: )

few...

 could load More... on a Semi Trailer, than I can Load... 

on

 That Amazing...

Flatbed Ford Ranger. 

; )

No Brag... 

just Fact.

<3

 ; ) 

Dad... taught me how to 'Load a Truck',

 and... 

Believe... 

Those Old Truck's... 

Could Haul Far More...

 than most,

 ever gave them the

 Chance

 to.

<3

They Did, and Do.

<3

I've never been Stranded, by an Old Truck.

<3

{Ford}

So Grateful...

for Dale's Help.

: )

Without Dale... 

there would be No Way....

Simply Iowa, would make it to

Gold Rush.

Grateful.

: ) 

I pulled One... of the Beautiful Garden Arches from Home, this afternoon.

Have two...

but, the Wild Grape... 

and

 Bittersweet, next to The Rabbit Hole, have already 

'Loved Up' on one of them.

; )

Didn't have the heart to cut 'em back.

<3

It was Hotter than Hell... loading this afternoon.

then, 

Thunder Rolled...

The Sky Opened...

we

Got Soaked!!!

It Felt Soooooo Good!!!

: )

We have a Fun Load, for 

Gold Rush.

: )

A 'snippet' of The Rabbit Hole, as always.

<3

'Soulfulness'.

<3

Allyson is bringing Farm, and Country.

: )

I'm cutting Lilacs in the morning to have in the booth, from Home, 

and... The Rabbit Hole, that Peg, and I planted...

years ago.

They are Incredible... this year.

<3

Best part of loading, was working near them.

<3

It's a little after 6 p.m., and... It's Pouring Rain.

: (

Blowing from the East.

: (

We had a 20% chance of rain, today.

; )

{could it be... we don't have enough Folks... watching the weather, 

'These Days'

???

: (

Praying.... we don't Flood.

: (

Thanks... 

Fairfax, Iowa...

'City Hall',

and...

The Iowa Department of Transportation.

bless your hearts.

Just... 

what I needed at the end of

 This

 day.}

: )

'patience'

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
