Switching Gears

From this...

To this...

Hard to believe mushing season is over...

Until tomorrow, trying to "beat the heat", God willing.

Sap Camp

It's truly here...

Spring.  

As evidenced by "sled dog" Skunk enjoying a run on the disappearing snow.

And Skunk and Zip enjoyed walking {and running} through our 40 acres to our "sap camp".

It was the first visit for young Skunk dog.  She enjoyed the sweet smell of sap.

We figured we'd visit, as hubby Russ is practically living near the boiling sap throughout the daylight hours.

One must be ever watchful as it boils into Maple Syrup.

We love feeling the warmth come on to the land. 

And so do the dogs...

Until tomorrow, dear friends, God willing.

Do-Over

Dear Friends ~

I was having Blogger issues the other day, trying to be fancy with a new Blog look, 

and it resulted in problems. 

Hence my reverting back to a simpler "less is more" Blog once again.  

I couldn't get my Blog to open.  

I'm not sure if you could either,

so I am reposting this Blog from the other day.

I hope you take the time to check it out, and respond...

I would love to have you entered into the Book Contest.  

And more importantly, 

I would love to chat about our love for Jesus,

led by Terri's inspiring book.

Thank you!

And blessings to you on this beautiful day.

Spring has Sprung

Hard to believe...

A week ago, we were buried with snow.

And now, spring has sprung.

   I love spring and the new life it brings.   

We have baby bunnies all around our cabin.  

Black.

White.

Precious.

Until tomorrow, dear friends, God willing.

Sherry

P.S.  I hope you like my simpler Blog.  

I have found that less is truly more, in all things, even Blogs.

How do you share Jesus? (Book contest)

Have you heard?

Only 2% of Christians share Jesus with other folks.

Are you one of those 2%?

Or are you like most folks.  

 Content to let others spread the word. 

Content to sit it out, and be a part of the 98%...

I try to be bold.

To step out into the light.

But sometimes I get pushed back.

With fear...

{rejection...}

With the inability to find the right words...

{are there any wrong words when speaking of Jesus?}

But I keep striving...

to share the love and joy of knowing my Savior...

For I know the cost is so great.

John 14:6 tells us so:

“I am the way and the truth and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through me."

So, dear friends, how does your Savior lead you?

I'd love to hear.  

Anyone who leaves a comment will enter a contest to win

a copy of the inspiring new book 

"How My Savior Leads Me" 

written by Terri from Our Crazy Farm.

I will take comments until March 20th.  

Thank you, 

and 

I'm looking forward to reading about your walk with the Lord.

Post Winter Storm

It came...

We coped.

And with the dog's help, we endured.

Skunk, hauling dog food and provisions.  Zip, cheering her on...

And Russ, on snowshoes.

We'll check in more, later.

Until tomorrow, dear friends, God willing.

Storm Prep (Siberian Style)

Word has it, we are due to get a foot or so of snow dumped on us tonight,

here in northern lower Michigan.

In preparation, chili fixin's are in the works.

And wood is being brought in to dry by the woodstove.

Hubby, Russ, likes to split wood all through the winter.

And sometimes, he has the dogs assist in the hauling.

Today was one of those days. 

Jeff (aka Rock Star) was more than happy to assist.

The only distraction was the chickens.

See the rooster in the photo above?

So did Jeff...

But even with those distractions, 

Russ and his buddy, Jeff, enjoyed their time together.

We hope you are faring well in these storms that are

hitting the nation.

Our prayers go out to you in those tornado-hit states.  

"Be strong and courageous. 

Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. 

He will not leave you or forsake you.” 

Deuteronomy 31:6

Until next time, God willing.
