Dark and snowy when I woke up so walked a few miles in the basement.
Later at 10:00 when it was 21 degrees and cloudy I went outside
and walked close to home.
Went up and down the lane again
and walked a little way up the neighbors driveway.
A picture of the natural fence I made taken from her driveway.
Once summer comes you won't even see my house.
Just as I was about to go in the house some blue sky
was starting to show.
🎄 🎄 🎄
We had a few hours of sunshine before it got cloudy again.
Started the fourth pair of slippers.
Also started the next book in the Little House on the Prairie series,
The Long Winter which is book number 6.
Came across this quote that I liked.
"When she was in bed with Mary and Carrie,
she stayed awake to keep on being happy."
It's been a good day and for that I am thankful.
Hope your day was a happy one.

"All the Christmas presents in the world are worth nothing
without the presence of Christ."
~ David Jeremiah
True Christian Christmas
Christmas isn't showy gifts
Or glittering decoration;
It's honoring our Savior, Jesus Christ
In humble adoration.
It's serving those less fortunate,
Meeting their needs before our own;
It's making sure at Christmas time
That no one is alone.
It's taking what we would have spent
On things that no one needs,
And using it to help someone
With service and good deeds.
Our Savior showed us how to live
With charity, faith and service.
It makes the holidays a joy,
More peaceful, and less nervous.
So let's remember Christmas is
About our Savior's birth;
That's the way to happiness,
The way to peace on earth.

...with scenery like yours, I'd better happy too.
That barn view is my favourite.
I like your poem!
Wonderful poem.It is too easy to get caught up in the frenzy of Christmas and not focus on Christ.
What a wonderful post! I love your pictures today, my favorite being the first one. Also, I love the quote from The Long Winter. How could that not touch one's heart? The way your winter is starting off, it may be a long winter for you too.
Such a wonderful poem - a great reminder to all of us. And maybe it is time for me to re-read the Little House series - I lived those books!!! Have a great weekend.
An inspiring poem. Thanks for sharing.
I feel cold all of a sudden.
God bless.
Nice to see your neighbour house. And yes, it's honoring our Savior, Jesus Christ, that makes our Christmas a happy one. 🕯️
Hello, your snowy scenes are pretty. I like seeing your home through the trees.
