Warm Towels

I told you how it rained all day yesterday. Well, last night it finally stopped so Mom decided to take us for a walk. Dad said he was too tired but if it started to rain, he would pick us up in the truck. Great! So Mom decided to take us on our long route. About half way around, it started to pour. We ran and walked fast until we got home soaking wet. Dad had fallen asleep in his chair and didn't know it was raining.

Our towels were still damp from the morning walk so Mom stuck them in the dryer for a few minutes and dried us the best she could with another towel. It wasn't long before the towels were dry and warm. They were okay and felt pretty good. Skeeter loved that warm towel so much he lay wrapped in it for most of the evening.

We didn't get mad at Dad because he worked too hard in the yard. He dug around some small stumps and then pulled them out with the truck.

Dad saw a BIG white bird in our yard and called to Mom to bring her camera. Mom got there just in time to see the bird catch a snake (in our yard). The snake wrapped himself around that birds beak but the bird finally got the snake loose and swallowed it whole. Mom got some neat pictures.

Today's quote is from K. Hubbard.

" Kindness goes a long way lots of times when it should stay at home."
