Sunday Drive

Our Sunday was a different kind of Sunday. Mylie was sick most of the day, running a temperature of 101. I convinced her to take the "yummy" liquid (children's tylonel) and she loved it. If I would have said it was medicine we would have been in for rounds. She felt better as the day went on and slept most of the day. We stayed home from church because she was so sick and had church at home with just the four of us. It was fun. With Mylie being sick and sleeping, we got some things done around the place. Matt and I finished up the catch pen for the horses. All it needs now is a gate. He says he appreciated my help, but I work so much slower than him. I think he just appreciated free labor! I watched him work and called him John Henry then I kid you not, a couple of seconds after that sparks hit the nail he was hammering in. I laughed!

At sundown Matt decided we should hop in the pick up and go ride in the hills behind our house. He does this a couple of times a day on horses, so it was nothing new to him, but it was fun for all of us to go with him and see new ground that we don't usually see on our hill drives. Plus it got us out of the house and we could still keep Mylie warm. We searched for all kinds of animals but mainly saw birds. Mesa's highlight was the jackrabbit who thought he could out run us. I seriously don't know why he didn't turn around and run the other way instead of staying parallel to us. Why do they do that? Mylie loved seeing the occasional range cows, especially the calves.

As we were out on our "Sunday Drive" I couldn't help but think how massive unsettled areas are. Have you ever ridden on an airplane, looked out the window and saw nothing but hills, mountains, flat land, or the OCEAN? We are just a speck on this gigantic earth. To me it just proves how uniquely designed our world is and how much "power" man really does not have...even though he thinks he controls it all. Any natural disaster can wipe out man-made things or even man so fast. I think of God and how He created it all. All I can say is: Wow, He's the best designer and artist I know!
