After a long winter, when it seemed that spring would never arrive, our senses were certainly taken captive this evening. The birds were singing in this sea of green. The sweetpeas in the midst of our table and the food smelled amazing. Robin prepared Salisbury Steak and made a cake with the first rhubarb of the season, as well. Later, Rachel started a bonfire, and yes there were even marshmallows that needed roasting. Danny, Caleb and I were able to identify several stars, with names that seemed unpronounceable. It was nice to easily point out the "evening stars" which were the planets, Jupiter and Venus. The only other sounds that broke our silence, was the loud rumble of a B-1 bomber on it's way to the Powder River "Range" where it's crew were honing their skills for in the art of battle. it was a nice evening... one that left you thankful for many blessings.
