Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,



Hebrews 12:1

The Snow!



The view from Jacqueline's window. 








The view from my window.




The snow, in bitter cold,
 Fell all the night;
And we awoke to see
The garden white.

And still the silvery flakes
 Go whirling by,
White feathers fluttering
From a grey sky.

Beyond the gate, soft feet
In silence go,
Beyond the frosted pane
White shines the snow.

~F. Ann Elliot~  



Well, it's more ice then snow,but it is beautiful.  Momma woke us up this morning with the news that it had snowed.  We still have our electricity which we were afraid we might lose, so that is something to thankful for.
 Dad isn't going to work, so we can have a nice quiet day filled with book reading, warm food, and maybe Dad will build us a fire! Jacqueline wishes me to add that she is half way to the snow already and begs me to go with her. I haven't decided if I will nor not. 

Update: We went sledding down our hill on a piece of leftover cardboard.  :0) And Mom is making pumpkin muffins with chocolate chips for breakfast!
