Well, I'm finally back. I've been unable to access my blog for awhile. I'm just in time to share our first real winter snow. It's been snowing for two days and there is four more to go. The kids have been so happy, with school delays and now, tomorrow is cancelled.
I have to say small town winters are as cozy as can be. Its so nice to see people walking to the post office and store, not taking the trouble to warm the engines. The children in town have all flocked to the only hill, in this farm country. I suspect 'hoots and hollers', will be heard late into the night; as there is no having to wake up early tomorrow.
As I am writing I'm am so encouraged by a sweet spirit of community. Literally cars are lined up in front of my house because of a woman who has gotten her car stuck in the middle of the road. Do I hear horns blaring or angry yelling? No. I see every single person out of their car coming around and pushing together to help this young woman. My hispanic neighbors my white neighbors even the dogs and children. That is a blessing of small town life, all working together. I wish government was a small town, maybe the politicians should all have to live in small towns. Just a thought.
Look for your blessings-
1) Picture of local farmer plowing neighbors driveway. 2) Local kids with ours sledding the hill. 3)Naomi and Olivia all ready with their new snow disc.
