Does God read blogs?????

Just a quick update.....Ok I know I was ranting in my last blog about this crazy heat, and I just have to wonder if God reads blogs? On my way to work this morning it was so DELICIOUS outside, I drove to work with all my windows down. My car thermometer said it was a intoxicating 77 degrees and that, I have to tell you, felt just like heaven!!! I knew today was supposed to get up into the 100's again, but that morning just made my day. So I get thru work sweating like a ban-chi and manage to poke myself in the eye trying to wipe the sweat off my face. When I get home the sky looks a little cloudy but I don't think to much of it, when all of the sudden, I look out on the porch and my plants are blowing over and the rain is coming down sideways! I was sooooo damn excited! I even ran out in my shorts and tank top to pick up some of the plants and got soaked in a matter of seconds. I actually was so happy I stood out there and collected as much rain water as I could, to keep for another hot day coming up! My plants are gonna love it! I know it sounds stupid but little things like this make me sooo happy! I LOVE Texas storms and only wish we had them more often for me to watch! When I lived in Dallas it seemed like we always had great storms to watch, but for some reason I think Austin is in some sort of bubble that makes them automatically dissipate before they can get here. So with the few ones we get, I want to dance in them I'm so excited! Ok enough about the weather.

I have to talk about the dilemma I had today. On my route its pretty rural and there is one street that is full of livestock on various properties. One such property has cows and I think Ive seen horses there as well. Well in the process of delivering mail to one CBU (Centralized Box Unit) I heard this horrible sound. I looked across the street and this cow (I'm not sure if it was male or female) was making this pitiful "mooouuuuu" sound. I started to watch it and it kept looking down and smelling something on the ground. I walked across the street and although its was about 200 yards off in the field, it looked like a baby calf laying down. The "Mama" (lets just say that since it was acting like one) kept making that sound, and as I watched I don't think the calf moved. I was really upset because I don't know if the calf was alive or dead, but the "Mama" was obviously upset about it. Unfortunately it was to a house that I don't deliver to, and they had a locked gate, other wise I would have gone right up in there! I tried to get a number by information but they couldn't look it up by address. So I called my trusty husband that can find anything online, given time. He did a reverse address look up and found a number for me. I called but got a machine and probably sounded like a complete freak saying I was really worried about their cow! I still don't know what happened and it just leaves a little sick feeling in my stomach that maybe I could have done something more.....I know I know, I just cant help it when I see and animal in distress! Ok I'm going to hope for the best, and start packing because I'm off in about 1 hour to catch my flight to SFO to get the girls! I cant wait! Until next time! Love y'all
