| I love the collage, April! I am still chuckling about Debbie's Bella jammies. Lately, we have been blessed with in-law grandparents visiting. They just said goodbye to their fur kid and grandma was sad in the final days, she hadn't had many chances to walk or get her cardio in. Fallon fixed that! I am sure they got almost 10000 steps playing hide and seek tag all the way up to bedtime while I got us caught up on laundry and dishes. |

| Todays blessing: I find myself admiring the ice and light snow that covered our little corner of the world last night, my commute to work this morning reminded me that ice and snow can hold so much beauty and also provided me with the gentle reminder that it's okay to slow down in life. Grateful for the beauty and the reminder that my heart and soul so needed. |

So glad you're having good luck with the colorstreet Chris! Sounds like Fallon is greatly enjoying visiting with Grandparents :)
Oh, the view sounds so pretty! We had a beautiful pink sky the last 2 mornings, but just a bunch of mud to go with it LOL! The moisture is a blessing though. We were incredibly dry this summer and fall! And it's a blessing to not be all bundled up worrying about the cows and calves. |

Sigh…ice/snow. Nothing here as it’s unusually warm. Because of this, I’m hoping for a cold streak that kills the critters that seem to be awakening early…
I’m blessed by daily calls from my oldest as she drives home from work and lots of snuggles from my fur babies! :) |

| Today's blessing, rain. I don't know how long it has been since we've had rain. Maybe over the holiday but we weren't here so I'm unsure. But I'm grateful for it. Not so much for the wind. It's been going strong since last night. Blessing two is all of you and the friendships we have made here. I'm grateful for each one. |

I know a "red sky in the morning, sailors take warning," but the sunrise is so beautiful today and we are under a small craft advisory so have already been "warned."

| The serendipitous blessing yesterday evening was a pocket full of post-it notes. We had a scouts meeting and it slipped my co-lead's mind to come (she is battling a heavy-duty cold). She also is the keeper of our very sweet "kaper chart" with cute laminated pictures of each scout and pockets for them to claim duties like leading the pledge of allegiance, quality control on our clean up, etc. It turns out in a pinch, a stack of post-it notes can achieve the same thing and is so much lower profile to carry! Semi-related, I am delighted our library had a DVD of MacGyver available for check out because Fallon has been asking to watch it and I have never seen this remade version. Something to look forward to on Monday. |

| We're working on the Families Forever badge and it was such a joy to spend yesterday evening playing Lilliputian travel versions of Checkers, Chinese Checkers, Chess, and Connect4. |

| As we travel back to NC this morning, I am feeling blessed for family. In this season of elder care, nieces and nephews that work full time, are helping out on weekends and also fixing meals through the week to help lighten the load. |
A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

| This weekend's blessing for me is new discoveries! We found a new little town to visit yesterday that's full of Amish. That meant I got to go through 2 stores with fabric LOL! There was also a HUGE antique shop, an old fashioned candy shop, and a coffee place that had pretty good hot chocolate. While I didn't find anything that I couldn't live without I had a wonderful day out with Nathan :) |

| Heather, I think you are closer to the Amish areas since you are north of us. I think Sugarcreek is a couple hours from here. Sometimes we go to Berlin for the weekend. Lots of fun things to explore there. |
