~~~ Friday, February 25 ~~~ 7:29 AM By 9:45 AM the ice was thicker and the icicles and longer. By noon the ice began to melt and was falling off trees. The grass under our trees was covered with pieces of ice. Then before long the ice became water puddles for the crows to enjoy.
~~~ Today ~~~ 5:00 AM – my first scent and taste was coffee. The first words I heard were from the Bible. I am listening to the Bible in chronical order this year. Today the reading was from the last few chapters of Numbers, not the most exciting part of the Bible, but the reader […]
~~~ Wednesday, February 23 ~~~ I was glad I left early (7:50 AM) so I could enjoy a slow drive to my sister’s house. She lives two miles away and I had 10 minutes to get there. 🙂 It’s a 4-5 minute drive. She had planned to pick me up, but they were down to […]

~~~ Wednesday, February 16 ~~~ We set aside the day for a variety of things. First, we went to Joyce’s Coverings & Veils and then to Glenwood Foods (a discount grocery store where Diane likes to shop). She and I found some good discounts on items we needed – especially for game night two days […]

~~~ from February 13 7:38 AM ~~~ This was the pretty view from our kitchen window on Sunday morning, February 13. Most pastors were happy that the snow did not stay on the roads.
