A Wonderful Surprise


What a wonderful surprise this morning to look out and see our wonderful new neighbors come up the drive to help with chores! Can you imagine?! They want to have animals, and a garden and such, so they are eager to pitch in and learn first-hand. What a blessing for both sides!

We have been able to do a lot to get the garden area ready when we have had breaks in the weather. Today it is cold and rainy with some sleet. I see signs that spring is right around the corner, though!

I am getting ready to start seeds in pots and hope to use the new greenhouse.

What are you doing to get ready for spring?

Oh These Interesting Times

We made it through what they were calling "a potentially historic storm" without losing power. We did what we could to prepare and left it in God's hands. He is good. We have extremely cold temperaures coming up now, but the sun is shining this morning which always makes everything seem better.
Jack's youngest sister and her children have made it safely out of Egypt and are in Greece for a short time before returning to the States. We are very thankful for that.
Got the seed catalogs out last night to help take my mind off of the howling wind. It is relaxing and fills me with hope thinking about spring and being able to plant again. It is always so encouraging isn't it? To think of the warmer temperatures and the excitement of plants coming up and baby animals being born. It's such a blessing.
Hope you all fared well in the storm and that your thoughts are on spring, which is just around the corner.
