Winter Pics

 

This morning we made our way to church, just Madison and I, and she was snapping some pictures with her camera.  Here's one across the new bridge.  You can see the remnants of the old Browns Bridge still there, and of course the rising sun.  You can also see remnants of snow on the hood of the vehicle.  It was covered, and had to run a bit to warm things up enough to make it easier to scrape the snow off.  

When we got to the church, we took a longer walking route in so Madison could snap some more pictures with her phone.  It was just such an unusual morning with the thin layer of snow covering everything and the rising sun there.  She took all these photos you see here.

I asked her to take a few of these.  It was cold outside, which is what it looks like, but it wasn't that cold.  We weren't exactly racing inside as we've done previously because of the cold.  That being said, we knew the snow was probably not going to be here when we got out of church.

Still, it was pretty while it lasted.  And part of these, of course, is the rising sun there.  The snow just make everything look very nice.  Also, Madison does very well with the camera.

We were actually a little later coming in this morning, this due to a few factors, one of which being the snow and ice on the car.  But we actually took our time coming in, just taking in all the winter scenery around us.

As for service, it went really well, with another visit from the yeti, and even a visit from our groundhog!  Yes, he's been a fixture this time of year, and it was just great to see him up there on stage again, this time emerging from inside the window of the cabin we have up there. 

He was making fun of the fact that we've had snow on our stage since 2019, and that it didn't look like there was going to be any change in the next six weeks either.  But that was on stage.  Off stage and outside, winter was still here, although the prediction of General Lee was that spring is around the corner.  Just how far around the corner, we'll see!

Anyway, we got home, and Mom had a spaghetti meal for everyone ready.  And after that, it was time for a bit of rest.  

We finished a jigsaw puzzle together, and had a whole bunch of nature programs on for Nana throughout the day, as those seem to capture her fancy.  She's still having a hard time, and still with a natural tendency to weep and cry and call out for Ba-Ba, and it's all very wearing.  

We finally finished "Scoundrels" tonight, and there was reveal that one of the scoundrels - on the last page - was discovered to be Boba Fett in disguise.  This was a fun reveal for Madison, who was started to wonder what was going on when a character formerly calling himself Eanjer picked up a Mandalorian helmet.  She really liked this book, and so did I.  We'll probably read another Star Wars book next, just for "research."  It won't be long before we start doing another Star Wars series at KidPak.

We read from Matthew, and we prayed tonight.  It was a good day today, but now it's time to get some sleep...
