Good Morning,

It's a beautiful Sunday morning in the Heart of Dixie, 65 degrees and sunny. A good day to assemble together and worship Him.

I was reading some of the posts from our friends in the West and Midwest, about the coming snow storm. Thank the Lord, we are where we are. I don't think I could handle snow measured in inches, much less feet. The most snow I can remember came about this time of the year, back in 1993. We had 13" and it was bad, I remember it thundering heavily during the snow. We were without power for only a few hours, but lots of folks lost it for 2 weeks.

We have a different set of weather conditions to contend with, thunderstorms and possible tornadoes, starting tomorrow. The weather has been beautiful for about the last 2 weeks, but you gotta pay the piper sometime.

My lovely MBH made her appointment with the eye Doctor on Wednesday. She got a shot in the eyeball, but she sat there like a trooper and took it. She has severe Wet ARMD OD, not sure what that is, just haven't looked it up on the net. If you pray and when you do, please call her name out, (Judy).

We went rambling on Friday for a little while, bought lunch and went to a park and ate. The sun and breeze was great. I found an old Buck knife at the pawn shop and gave $5 for it. It's called a Juno, never seen one or even read about it before.

Got the yard looking better, still have the trimming to do. The weed trimmer beats me to a pulp so I haven't done it yet. I haven't planted my tomato seeds, I need to. Lots of flowers blooming, birds singing and building nests.

Ya'll have a blessed Sabbath and be safe in the storms.

Leon

P.S.
Sometimes it seems that the storms of life are worse than the snow, rain and windstorms, but we will make it, one way or another.

When you take a good look around at the important things, you realize that you are very blessed. Nothing better than being outside and enjoying what God has created.
 
happy sabath day to you all... went to a gun show yesterday and dropped off my now long term project shotgun back to the gunsmith... never say no rush to a gunsmith lol... took One S&W (629-1 8.375) to sell.. never used it.. nobody wanted to buy it.. but found an old friend that was selling his father's gun and after a call to dad we swapped.. so not a bad day... rainy night continues til Monday.. started the coffee and baked up some maple brown sugar smoked Canadian bacon and am waiting on the wife to wake up.. daylight savings time has already messed me up.. oh well... enjoy the day...
 
The same is going on around here Ole Joe. Birds are busy but we had to take the feeders down for a few weeks because the bears woke up and are also busy stealing the bird food. Third year in a row for that.
MBH did start the tomato seeds and they've sprouted already. Got some peas in the ground too.
The cycle continues.
 
Good morning to everyone. It's coming back to more normal temperatures here on the shores of Lake Erie. I'm up helping to take care of my brother who had shoulder surgery last week. He's recovering nicely and we were able to go to the Medina, Ohio gun show yesterday. We've been watching the disappearance of the ice bar that formed off the beach. It looked like a sandbar but it was formed by spray during a storm and it was cold enough out to freeze, creating a long narrow structure that ran parallel to the beach for a pretty good distance. Everybody have a great day.

Robins have been busy here also. I like watching them work the yard. They spread out like a squad and always facing out with one or two watchers in the trees keeping an eye out for trouble.
 
Good Sabbath Leon. Your Sabbath post are must read for me.

I've got a foot of snow with a couple inches an hour piling higher. The dogs enjoy periodic frolics into drifts taller than they are. I'm happy to stay in and participate in the snow frolics vicariously.

Once an hour I have to venture out to clear snow off the satellite dish: I offered to pay my granddaughter to do it but she's holding out for a more lucrative offer. She's pretty good at negotiating with me: my offer increases hourly, but her "minimum wage" seems weather dependent.
 
As always Leon good to read your Sabbath day post's. Here in the Tarheel State our day started at around 40 at about 8 A.M. but had quickly risen to 61 by the time we left for Church at around 10:30.

We have some flowers blooming and yes the birds are all singing. They were calling for rain here but it passed us by.

This is a song that I was reminded of when I read this post .

Everyone have a blessed week.

Leon tell the Madam that I have just gone thru a series of injections for the same thing and mine is now stabilized. Just hang in and keep the faith. Will be praying for her along those lines.
