I gotcha... don’t want to drown the baby plants, the little seedlings...I guess the storm is more down on our way then, perfect!!
Take care!!
We could use some rain but problems with thunderstorms in the spring, storms very often bring hail. Hail not only damages young plants and seedlings but also damages the tree fruit and the grape vines.
But ... we will welcome whatever God sends our way.

READ: Deuteronomy 34
[Moses’] eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. —Deuteronomy 34:7 Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Sunset Boulevard tells the story of Norma Desmond, a former silent film star. When the talking movies came into fashion, she lost her audience. As an older woman, she longed for the glory of her past. In her mind, silent facial expressions alone made a good movie—not dialogue. In the song “With One Look” Norma sings:
With one look I can break your heart;
With one look I play every part . . .
With one look I’ll ignite a blaze;
I’ll return to my glory days.
Because Norma lived in the past, her life ended in tragedy.
It’s been said that each life is like a book, lived one chapter at a time. If you think your most fruitful years are behind you, remember you’re writing a new chapter now. Learn to live each day with contentment in the present.
Near the end of Moses’ life, God showed him the Promised Land. Clearly, he had accomplished his mission in life. But he didn’t long for the miracles of his “glory days.” Instead, Moses was content to obey God in the present. In his sunset years, he mentored Joshua to be his successor (Deut. 31:1-8).
Living contentedly in the present has a way of making us productive for a lifetime—for God’s glory.

USNS Stockham is one of 16 Maritime Pre-Positioning Ships belonging to the MSC Pre-Positioning Program.

Quite fascinating, IMO...:)

Yes, Dolly, of course. I’m sure you will do something very cute with the image.
Also, the story of the red cap is linked in post 33, and it is a total revelation to me too.
