H a p p y S u n d a y 🍃 When we had snow. Being a half-unprepared Texan for rare zero temperatures, this girl was happy to see these two alive every morning during snowmageddon. We had the barn wrapped snug as a bug and were blessed to nab two of the last four heat lamps at Lowe's. But with continual rolling blackouts, it was cold. Still, these two got up and walked out to face every day. 🍃 Sandy & Ginny

H a p p y F r i d a y 🍃 Thinking back over the snow week, the one that ushered in a winter break from all but home. It was pretty. I still wrote. We loved following the fox's tracks. We made snow ice cream. We had real snow. 🍃

H a p p y W e d n e s d a y 🍃 My sweet girl and her flowers 🍃

H a p p y S u n d a y 🍃 I've always wanted to post a picture like this. But wow, what the cost for us Texans. My family is doing good. We had rolling blackouts for days. Power 20 minutes on, 10-15 minutes off. For days. We maintained about 64 degrees in the house so we were wrapped in blankets mostly. I seriously timed each moment with my stopwatch. When our water started freezing, every time the electricity came on, we all ran to turn on space heaters. We are so grateful the plumbing never froze. It was close. Our sheep survived in the blanketed barn with heat lamps. And as the snow is nearly all melted as of today, we are grateful to be warm. We have many friends with busted plumbing, ruined floors, and trusting hearts. As my dear friend said, "Our Lord has seen us through everything else and this will be no different." 🍃

H a p p y F r i d a y 🍃 Forgiveness has pummeled my heart this morning and poured forth through this feeble attempt at poetry. This is my testimony from the age of 8 and henceforth. And it's carried me thru life, thru each circumstance, every trial, all strife. When nothing satisfies, one will. 🍃

H a p p y W e d n e s d a y 🍃 Have I ever seen the wonder of snow to this degree? Only the three years I lived in Washington state where they were prepared for such, but to my recollection, never here in Texas. We came close to losing water yesterday, but we were given a rare hour of electricity. That coupled with our space heaters and dripping faucets saved us for now. Not to mention the many prayers covering the situation. Every time the power comes on, we run to turn on space heaters. Nighttime feels like Little House on the Prairie days and we've been playing games by candlelight. We are thankful that we haven't had severe winds. We go out to break up the ice covering the sheep's water and to bask in this rare glory. My girl here gathers snow for ice cream, because even tho it's cold in the house and we're dressed in layers, we will enjoy the goodness of the moment. 🍃
