Belated April Fools Joke!

Birds try to keep warm

 Has it been a belated April fools joke? Joke or not we had our first real big blizzard of the year. Having about 10-12 inches of snow with 40 mile an hour winds just about cinched it! Just got my internet back up after the storm. 

 Have been praying for moisture for the farmers and ranchers and us lowly hobby gardeners. It is wonderful to get moisture, but with it comes some hardships and severe suffering. Someone's family is missing a mother who left her car to walk home and got disoriented and died in a field of hypothermia. Baby calves are suffering from the weather, Jessamyn has assured me that it took almost all day today  to get to their calves and make sure the cattle where fed and accounted for. Lucky for them they didn't find any calves dead.

Karmic is a word I don't use lightly, but the forecast of this storm was sending me into of world of anxious anticipation. My friend Dan came Monday afternoon right before the storm broke and got stranded. Unfortunately for him he could not return home. To my benefit he help me get the wood stove started with dead bird removal and all since the electricity went out from the very first thing. We didn't get electricity until the next day around 4:00 pm. Today we shoveled and got my vehicle out but couldn't get Dan's front wheeled van out of the drive. Even tried with my all wheeled drive Enclave and my gracious neighbor Floyd's 4-wheeled truck. Then to our surprise later in the day my friend Rocky came to the rescue and pulled Dan out with a big front wheeled loader. Thank you for looking out for us oh, God!
