Good Morning

When the sun comes up

We experience the hope

A new day can bring

Icing In My Backyard

When we woke up this week to the results of an overnight ice storm it was clear we were going nowhere that day and for the first time in a long time not because of COVID-19.

Mother Natures artistry was on display with all her ice sculptures.  And my fine feathered friends seem no worse for wear.  Making sure they are fed is a top priority.

 Finally,

Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks be to God!

A Cardinal Event

Card'nal red

In the midst of icy glare

Sign of hope

~~~~~~~

This gentleman brightened my day yesterday as we were again confined to home, not because of pandemic but because of the weather.  Though the ice is lovely to see it is Mother Nature's reminder that she is in control and you have to follow her rules.  We were  fortunate that we did not lose power but we were nonetheless careful and followed "Mother's" rules.  Yes, we did!

Powdered Sugar Snow

So this is the sum total of our winter snow this winter. . .Just a dusting and so many others are experiencing so much more.  It's almost embarrassing.  So today I wish all well!  

It's cold but this is the first moisture we've had that wasn't rain.  

There was nothing to shovel.

 And the holly stands tall

So much for the winter snow we've had so far and it's alread February!

Thanks be to God!!

Burst of Glory

A burst of glory

In the midst of the morning

Touches the deepest soul

~~~~~~~

It seems of late I've been drawn to the sunrise.  Can't tell you why.  Maybe it's because I find the early morning, even in it's quiet tranquility, an explosion of beauty can burst into my vision!  For that I am eternally grateful!

The Sun Still Rises

Glowing through the fog

Reflecting on the water

The sun arises

Those Darn Cats

Simba and Nala (Sissy) joined our family 6 years ago.  So many have shared about their cats and I thought I'd share our story of them.  You see, they are not the first cats we have had.  First there was Weber who we rescued from a bird's nest in our spruce tree.  She was independent and not very personable but we loved here nonetheless.  Before she passed Sam came to live with us.  He was a real mouser!  Literally caught them and brought them to us so we could praise him.  (Moles were left on our back step before he came in for the night.

On one occasion, when we were remodeling the kitchen, Sam felt it his duty to check out the workmanship of the cabinets.  LOVE that cat!  Sadly Weber died of cancer and Sam died of a blood clot.  

That brings me to Simba and Nala.  A young lady I worked with had two kitens, brother and sister.  She as always sharing tales about them.  But one day she came to work saying she was going to have to find a new home for them because her husband was found to be allergic to cats.  She was willing to separate them as she had to find the home soon.  Well, I couldn't see separating brother and sister and so we now have them and they are a delight.  Simba is the active and curious one.  Nala (Sissy) is the lazy, sleepy cat!  Love them both!!

He's such a clown!!

She's so layed back!

Love this brother and sister.

Clouds

Clouds are a wonder

Tender blanket of our earth

Heaven come to earth

~~~~~~~

It's good to reflect on the glory of the sky and the clouds that often surround us.  More often than not they cover the sun and keep us without the warmth the sun offers.  But they are sculpted by the angels to keep us from becoming complacent and taking them for granted.
