Blogs by Joyce E Bowling Saturday Morning in the Mountains... 7/19/2008 6:13:31 AMThe day began early as I arose at 4:00 a.m. Dennis was scheduled to work today and had to be there by 5:00 a.m. I arose tired but with gratitude as it seems that each time I turn the news on there is more depressing news...with loss of jobs, failing economy, and rising prices. So, with thanksgiving in my heart I reached for a hot cup of coffee as I prepared Dennis's to go breakfast. With the morning beginning so early I had time to complete my first list of things to do for the opening week of the school year 08-09...which is approaching very quickly. Where does the summer go? With my stomach full of my favorite breakfast a Spanish omelet, fresh cucumbers, and toast Boomer and I set out for work in the garden. With the dew still clinging to the blades of grass, the morning mountain air smelled fresh. The goats greeted me with their good morning bahhh, and the chickens clucked their greeting as we walked toward the garden. I hoed two rows of beans, four rows of sweet potatoes, and two rows of cantelopes. Whew! What a work out! As I carefully inspected the tomatoe vines for ripe tomatoes...I discovered another small slice of God's bountiful and perfect nature. In the center of a tomatoe plant, carefully tucked away was a tiny, delicate bird's nest. Quietly I peered inside the beautiful little nest only to discover another miracle...four tiny little speckled eggs. I stood for a few minutes admiring the mother's unique craftmanship...and the care that she had taken to ensure her family would be safe, comfortable, and happy. Inside the carefully woven nest she had layered the bottom with a bed of white goat's hair. What a wonderful warm and soft haven she had provided! Slowly, I backed away from the nest...and watched the mother bird return from the bird feeder beneath the rose bush stopping to check on her uborn babies. After ensuring that her babies were safe, she flew away as graceful as she had came. I stood there in the middle of the garden for a few minutes enjoying the sights and sounds of the morning...when my mind returned to the many excited students that would soon fill my classroom, my heart, and my life. I thought of the responsibility that came with each child...how I am responsible to ensure that each child receives knowledge, life skills, security, encouragement, understanding, and love. My heart leaped with excitement, as I visually began preparations of upcoming lesson plans. Suddenly, I found myself with other invading thoughts...I began to pray with a heart full of hope...praying that each of their lives would be as bountiful as the tiny little birds...that they too would have a parent or parents that would take the time to provide happiness, food, comfort, and a secure home. Walking slowly back to the house I again thanked God for the bounty of beauty, peace, joy, vegetables, happiness, fruits, nature, hope, health, and blessings that He bestows upon my family within these Kentucky mountains...the mountains that I call home....
