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.

My Forgotten Love

It took a late March snow storm to bring us together again.

The freedom to roam is exhilarating.

A surprise with every footstep, like the turkey scrape on the snow.

Here's a better look.

Beauty everywhere.

Simple and pure, as the driven snow.

Until tomorrow, God willing.



A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the Heavens.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Today, we are knee deep in snow.

But soon, spring will emerge.

And with it, a whole new set of chores.

The focus will be off dog power and on to horse power.

Our boy Raz, is still in training from last year.

But coming along nicely.

We can't wait to see what spring holds for us.

What about you?  We'd love to hear your plans...

Until tomorrow, God willing...

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:17
