Sunday. night and Monday morning we had some snow.
It wasn't exactly a storm as the tides were low and there was no wind but
we did get a significant amount of snow.
I got up early, bundled up, and went out walking.
Here are a few photos of my walk through the wood and down to both
Black Joe's and Redd's ponds.
It was absolutely beautiful out.

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
let such as love thy salvation say continually,
The Lord be magnified.

Tucker climbed up on my lap as I sat at my desk the other day. He put his front paws onto the surface of the desk as if to say, "hand me a pencil so I can add kitty treats to your grocery list."

I work at a school so last week was my first week back to work after our 2 week holiday break.
The commute takes me past a beautiful beach and I just had to pull over one morning
to make a picture of this beautiful sunrise.

Sunday morning I woke very early and walked past the town landing on. my way to the little
breakfast spot. It was very foggy and misty and everything looked so quiet and still.

The last weekend of Christmas break my granddaughters came to stay over night with me.
Abby painted this water color and wanted me to take a picture of it to send to her mother.
Her grandfather is a talented watercolor artist and has been giving her little lessons.
She is seven.
The other night my phone rang and I heard both of my granddaughter's little voices.
"You forgot to send the picture to mummy." Abby said.
And I could hear Natalie (she's almost 5) say, "I took a shower and used conditioner
in my hair like we do at your house, Hopie."
I love when they call me! I texted the picture right away.

My new washer and dryer finally got installed!!
What an ordeal that all was...so frustrating!
But, all is well except for the fact that I have so much laundry to put away.

Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10
Almost every morning for years and years I pray this short little Psalm
as I rise from bed.
It keeps me clear about where my heart and head need to be during the day ahead and
it asks for forgiveness and restoration from any mistakes that I made the day before.

put me in the hospital for 3 days.
The first thing I did when I began to feel better was to bundle up and go for a walk in my
neighborhood.
I am so thankful for the beauty in the world around me!

So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Psalm 90:12
As I consider this past year and turn my thoughts towards the new one this Psalm
comes to mind. My prayers, my deep prayers for the world we live in is that we may all
find wisdom for the short amount of time we are here on this earth.
I wish you peace and love in the coming year and in all the seasons of your life.
