Snow, Ice and Flowers From Last Week

Monday, March 2 through Wednesday, March 4

0We went from snow and ice (last week) to a warm, rainy, spring-like week, so it’s difficult to remember that these pictures are from just a week ago.

1Morning shadows on the snow.

1b (1)Sam (man cave “grandson”) was kept busy shoveling snow for several days.

1b (2)The ice and glitter were pretty, but a bit dangerous.

1b (4)There is a bush under that snow and ice.

1b (5)It had been a while since we saw our patio bricks.

1b (6)

1b (7)A pretty Downy Woodpecker was glad for the suet I put in the holder.

It looks like it’s time for another suet pack.

1b (8)I found some French fries in the man cave waste can and threw them out on the snow.

2 (1)Most feeders were covered with ice.

3By evening the trees were ice-covered.

4Cerwin came home with a bouquet of pink carnations – from the grocery store – one evening.

The fresh flowers and color were a welcome reprieve from winter’s snow and cold.

DSC_6460His thoughtfulness reminded me of the verses from Psalm 1 that describe him so well.

1Happy is the man who does not walk in the way sinful men tell him to, or stand in the path of sinners, or sit with those who laugh at the truth.

But he finds joy in the Law of the Lord and thinks about His Law day and night.

This man is like a tree planted by rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time and its leaf never dries up. Whatever he does will work out well for him.
