My 16 year old iis driving himself to school now so the dogs and I have to figure out a new schedule for our walks. The son thinks I can sleep in but the dogs do not share that opinion so off we go for our walk before the sun and the son.
On the way, a song comes on the radio. “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tiffany. It made me smile as I walked the dogs. A desert sort of Spring is beginning to peek through the barren ground in tufts of green. The early birds are singing. The sun is just light on the horizon and I do think we’re alone now.
The birds remind me of the garden where God walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. It is cool. A cool 49°. My broken arm is using the dog leash for a sling. My cousin’s puffy jacket is a cushion for my neck. I have no need to hide from God in the trees of this garden for His lines have fallen in pleasant places for me today and I take a deep breath to savor it.
