The Morning After

Oh my! Twelve inches of cold, blowy snow fell upon us. What an adventure! Tom's boss released everyone 4 hours early when the driving advisory (no unnecessary traffic) went into effect and very few accidents resulted because Buffalonians know to stay home when told--and ok--over 900 schools and businesses were closed so there weren't all that many places to go. :)

Two teens offered their shoveling services so we paid them a king's ransom, but it was worth it, making it easier for me to shovel (a couple paths)over the day's remainder. Plus, we do enjoy sowing money seeds where we can, especially to young entrepreneurs. Neighbor Mike still had plenty to shovel when he arrived home, late, so we'll pay him, also, and thank God for His amazing seed principle provision.

We watched Spiderman by way of Netflix since we'd not seen it in years. That's the one good thing about aging: you forget so much of what you watch that it's all like new when you see it again.

Anyway, today is another gloriously sunny one and you know? I'm thinking Hobbit Cottage must be enchanted/blessed/existing on a whole other plain because these past 2 1/2 years have been sunnier than I ever recall them out at Healing Acres or Autumn Cottage.

                Hmm. I'll take it, treasure it. Just keep pouring the sunshine through my windows and I'll be fine, even in winter, for Springtime is a condition of the heart, after all.

And I would begin growing seedlings in here, except that our sneaky cats would eat or dig in them and we do not have enough doors in this place. Only two real, cat-proof interior doors in the entire house! So I'll wait for bits of warmth and then plant seeds in pots upon the garage shelves which Tom ran across the window, greatly annoying me at first until I realized their seedling value.

"Be slow to speak and quick to hear" (especially when hearing from God.). I'm still working on those.

Oh, and if you occasionally see odd, unfinished posts here at my blog, just ignore them. I'm currently changing that too light, too small font of my ancient posts so that we old folks can read them more easily, and well, sometimes I've accidentally published draft posts which were never meant to be seen by other eyes than mine. :)

Hmmm.... Maybe I will consider publishing a book from my former blog posts. Perhaps divide it into two parts: My Sane Suburb Years and The Frantic Farm Years. Or maybe, in the center, include a quickie 'palate cleanser': Our Tiny Apartment Months.

Stay tuned.
(And something wild? My entire blog, printed out, would be nearly as long as War and Peace(!) Or perhaps longer--the math is complicated. heh.)
