Good morning + 4 hours and 39 minutes,
Hapity Valentine’s Day! ! ! ! Hope it is for you too. I bought a five pound box of chocolates for the gals at Bible study, but it disappeared before it got there. Just had to sample it a bit! Well .... if you believe that, I have a desert island in the middle of the Kewaunee swamp to sell you! As per usual for holidays and celebrations, it is a very quiet one for this Old Norwegian and his woman.
Just in from pealing a couple of poles (skinny long logs). I was chased in by some sain coming down. It was not serious, but didn’t want to get my tools wet. Or me! I used the drawknife rather than the ax I have been of late. It works much faster, but doesn’t take off the nubs from the cut off branches. Have to go back and do that. I am feeling a different set of muscles and joints than I have for some time. I think I will have to dig out my wrist braces again for awhile, until they get strengthened again. Anywho, a couple more peeled poles are in the pile.
We are expecting a pretty severe snowstorm to hit early in the morning hours of Thursday and continue all day until the following morning. Then the temperature is to drop to the lowest of the winter. The weatherman is talking of up to 10" of snow could fall before it is finished. The storm watches are already up. Suspect if it really looks like we will get that much snow, I will park at the end of the driveway. The official high yesterday, was the first time since December we have had a high below freezing! Normally it would be rare to have a day above freezing this time of year. It has been a strange winter so far. At present, we are on the southern side of a small storm and at the dividing line between snow and nothing falling from the sky. As a result, we are getting sain at the moment. Not at all comfortable outside.
Bible study was pretty good today. We had a good number of folks there too. One of the gals brought a cake which was excellent. I even had two pieces! We are really getting pretty deep into the study and a whole different way than just looking at the surface "words" and applying the statements to the real lives of the folks there. It is interesting to see the folks growing so much. After this study is over, I am not sure what direction we will go next. That decision is a ways off though, as I still have one more workbook to this study.
On our trip to Algoma after church on Sunday, we did find a bargain - kohlrabi. It seems like a strange time of year to have it on sale, but it was. We have not eaten it for years. I can smell supper being prepared. Kohlrabi and salmon loaf. Sounds pretty good to me. Guess it will be our celebration dinner for this day.
Time to get eating.
In Christ My Saviour,
