Working and thinking on the menu today.

This morning's readings (Jeremiah 23, 24, 25) left my mind and spirit busy.  So much to consider.  I'm not much of a doom and gloom person, but wow.  It makes me want to run out and stand on a corner with a sign saying "Preacher beware."  And yet there is always the hope, the promise, the undertone of grace.
Last night's sweet festivity left me eyesore and stuffed up.  Guess I took on more smoke than I intended or knew.  Won't be any bonfires tonight for many reasons.  We have fellowship; so much to prepare and late return from that.  We are under a red flag; so no outdoor burning.  It would be nice to see and breathe again. 
It is warming up nicely and the sky is blue with high scattered clouds.  Rain is forecast for tomorrow so I should get a bit of yard stuff accomplished.  The coffee was good -is still good.  I will do my mental chewing with garden tools in hand.
Blessings, friends.
