Snowy-Snowy Sunday

This was our Sunday on the homestead yesterday.

Our first snowfall of the year!  

Not a ton, but enough that the Littles got out and enjoyed it thoroughly.

A Moment of Reflection...

Last Sunday:

YESTERDAY.

That concludes my Moment of Reflection.

*******

What a difference a week can make in Kansas, I tell ya!

The kids had such a blast!

And so did Zeke.

Oh my.  He looooooves the snow so much!

And K-Man was all excited, too.

Sure was!

So frigid outside!

But warm, cozy, and all set for Christmas inside.

LOVE.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an ugly Christmas sweater to make.

Glad tidings, my friends. 

spring snowy-snow! {LOVE}

Listen, I'm as ready for spring as the next gal.

But I gotta tell ya,

I think we are fools if we don't bask in the beauty of what God has 

blanketed on us (again and again!).

I went outside to take care of my chickens and couldn't help but

have a smile plastered on my face.

Truly, it's a wintery masterpiece outside that only our 

Creator could have orchestrated.

Let's enjoy it!!!

Here's a pictorial of my trek:

Zeke.

My big ol' kitty-cat polar bear!

I wish I could have captured on video the fun he was having in the snow.

It was so hilarious.

He loves it so much! 

He chased the cats all around the yard, and up the snow-laden tree.

See?

Sweet little Dino, up the tree!

Our property is well-guarded by this fella.

If you stop by for a visit, 

be ready for a hearty-hello from our FRIENDLY Kansas-Arctic canine!

(But don't be fooled, he'll take your arm off if you threaten any of his flock (the cats, chickens, and US!)

Thank you, Jesus, for the GORGEOUS snow, the moisture it brings,

and the way it slows us down to a family-friendly pace.

snow!

We finally got a fairly decent amount of snow yesterday!

Hooray, hooray!

The kids had a blast.

And I enjoyed taking pictures of them from my kitchen window.

:)

Life was harmonious, be it ever so briefly.

And while I was feeding/watering my chickens today,
I made K-Man take a picture of me.

Though he held my cell phone upside down and it made me sideways.

And once it's on my computer, I can't rotate it for the life of me.

But I suppose it kind of sums up my personality.

Aren't you jealous of my sexy coveralls?

I didn't think so.

winter wonder land

Look at how our Creator decorated our trees for us!! Isn't it beautiful and wonderful?? I absolutely love it. Never will you hear me complain about heaps of snow that falls...never. And poo-poo on the nay-sayers who whine about it. I feel sorry for you. Seriously. **This pic was taken from my bathroom windows. Please ignore the unfinished paint job (which is totally my fault) and no, we have no curtains or blinds...country livin' folks!! Love it.

Lucy has been itching to get outside. Finally one of the big people in the house caved in to her sad baby-browns. That would be Dad, of course. She looks anything but enthused here but that is only because Dad told her he wasn't taking her outside until she let Mom take a picture. So she posed, best she could. Bless her heart.



Sorry but this is the only pic I have of Lucy-bug playing outside...and if you look closely at the photo, you will see a tiny "grid"...hence, is why my quantity (and quality) of pics are limited...yes, that's the screen you see because I was INSIDE.


I fully expected this little pink-adorned powerhouse to return inside quite quickly after going out because of the bitter cold, but no...she absolutely loved every second of it!


Thank you, Lord, for the absolutely gorgeous display of your creative hand. You did a great job frosting our trees and blanketing every inch of ground with snow flakes, none of which are alike...that's so like YOU! It's beautiful beyond words. Oh and I'm also SO grateful for the incredible WARM house you have provided so that we can fully enjoy the snow outside...while we are inside. Thank you!!
