It was fun, but now we're done


They gave it their all out there.
They flattened the hills and braved the bitter cold to taste the snow (just a few times....).

The tobbogan is drying out, soon to be shelved on the garage wall.
Gloves may need to hit the dryer.

The grass is peeking through.

And in 12 hours....it's school again!

Bring it on!!!

Bring it on!

We have a large asphalt hill across the street. It was a sheet of ice, but yesterday there was a lot of sledding on patches of asphalt...whew ...no injuries.

Beautiful pictures!

It was fun wasn't it?!? Part of me is sad to see it go and then the other part rejoiced as they excitedly ran off to school to share their adventures!

Thank you Sue, you are a wonderful soul...I love your blog, it's beautiful here. YOu had way more fun in the snow than I did, boys pelted me in the head with snowballs, hid behind forts and slid down the scary hills while I stayed on the bunny slope and ran inot trees.
I'm grateful.

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans.

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that
