Snow

 It snowed last night, and by this morning we had about nine inches. The first snow of the year. Looking out the door, I saw this.

Our Christmas flag is still out, we forgot to take it down.

In the afternoon the sun came out, and the sky was so blue.

Phil went out to clean the snow off the car.

I'm hoping to get to the grocery store, but who knows? I am so thankful that we still have power, so many do not now.

“He spreads snow like a white fleece, he scatters frost like ashes, He broadcasts hail like birdseed— who can survive his winter? Then he gives the command and it all melts; he breathes on winter—suddenly it’s spring!”

Psalm 147

Up Up & Away!

This is one of my favorite Christmas houses, and I just have to show you year after year. From a distance, nothing seems unusual.

But take a closer look. On the front porch is a pair of penguins flying in a hot air baloon!

The Angels

 A lot of angels were out and about last month. Some strange and some beautiful. My favorite is this one, as she looks down from a porch.

I like the red sash on this one.

This one is cavorting with deer.

This pair are guarding a peace sign. Did you know that Cherubs are far from chubby babies, they are the strong guardian angels. It was Cherubs with swords of fire that guarded The Garden Of Eden.

And this is the strangest angel I have ever seen.  It's head looks like a scarecrow head, all wrapped in burlap.

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
- Luciano de Crescenzo

Happy New Year 2022

 I have not been able to download any photos to blogger tonight! So I will just say Happy new Year to all my wonderful followers! 

Snowman Overload

 I did a double take when we passed this house a couple days ago. This person must collect snowmen, and  put their entire collection on the front porch.

There was one sitting on a little well.

A snowman tree.

Even snowmen on the window shutters.

Pig Parade

 Today we passed this yard full of pig Christmas decorations!! All different kinds of pigs!

Pigs in Santa hats.

Pigs with wings.

Pigs with antlers.

It made me kinda glad that I don't eat bacon. Thoughts?

My Favorite

 This may be my favorite Christmas gift this year. It is a calendar our daughter-in-law had made. Each month has either a photo of our grandchildren, or a photo of their artwork! Here are some of the pages.

“We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.”
