Happy First Day of Spring!

First thing I wanted to tell you is that I got the address of little Jack's mommy's blog, for anyone interested. It is mggrotti.wordpress.com
Jack is in much need of prayer but is certainly improving! Meg and John are his parents. They are learning many new things and responsibilities. Thank the Lord for answered prayer.

Well, it's the first day of Spring and we have about 5-6 inches of new snow. One 'problem' with the Town taking over our once-4th class-road is that they plow us IN. Syd never did that! He always plowed the ends of the driveways OUT. I've just finished digging so I could get out into the road, then got stuck in Mom's driveway, as everything's ice underneath. I love shoveling, so these really were no problem. She's all tucked in up there. We had coffee then I came down to finish chores here. I do wonder if our fuel company will come and deliver today. We are trying to keep our fuel tank dug out...see it down in there? Actually only the cover is showing of course.



Just lately, Ruger's been being beaten out by our large owl who has returned for the third year in a row. He is BUSY taking care of our squirrels, but occasionally Ruger can still find one.
Syd said it was so comical to watch him bound down into the snow and out of sight, then he'd take another leap and go out of sight again. He loves squirrels and catches many of them up at Mom's too.

Sorry there's a half eaten squirrel there, but I guess it's a dog thing

My Mom's back porch is getting quite full!
 ...and we are finding less and less space to put this stuff. "Hmmm, the door is in here somewhere!"


Take care, all, and Happy Spring! Thanks for visiting today!

  1. WOW! That's a LOT of snow. Looks like what we had last year. This year, not as much snow, but BITTER cold temperatures that seemed to never go away. Gave us much admiration and compassion for those serving our Lord in the polar regions. I am going to hop over to Jack's mom's blog.

  3. We had an owl in the chicken coop this winter... see blog... a beautiful barred owl. We hear them more and more. At first we thought maybe he came in after chickens, but I think he was just after rodents which we have lots of because of the chickens.

    1. Mrs D. Your owl was lovely. How neat, tucked into the corner of the coop. I would bet she gets plenty of rodents this way...and they don't get your eggs and grain!
