When Autumn Comes To Town
Autumn has kissed the tops of the trees
And brushed with gold the uppermost leaves
The squirrels are gathering, filling their store
Everything must be ready before winter's at the door
The goldfinch is changing his fancy spring clothes
For some that will warm him when Autumn winds blow
The flowers are sighing for it's time to sleep
And the air is filled with the honking of geese
Everything is changing and scuttling around
The world is quite busy when Autumn comes to town

Yesterday evening at church my youngest DD Roosie was biten by some breed of shepherd dog. It was the kind police use for drug dogs. She was bitten several times on the right foot and leg and once she was down the dog bit her on her lower back , scalp and several places around her right ear. They had to close the wounds on her ear but else where she just has bruises and scrapes. Her older brother Hoopy jumped on the dog and drug it down to the ground and elbowed it in the head while my cousin grabbed my daughter. She is fine other than some "medium" pain and Hoopy has a sore neck because he had to jerk his head out of the way really hard when the dog snapped at him.Roosie has adamantly decided she no longer wishes to have or see a dog. So pray for her that the fear will go away because she does love animals and that she heals well and pray for Hoopy that he will feel better too . Pray for all of us while your at it because it was a pretty traumatic day . Thank you God for taking care of my blessings , all four of them.
How terrible that this happened. I know this was a very traumatic experience for you all. I will be praying for your whole family and especially your dd that she will overcome her fear of dogs.
The new blog looks good, but it is cutting off some of your titles with your third column.

P.S. When your blog shows up after the comment posts it is perfect. I realized some of your third column wasn't showing up when I was just reading columns.
