We got another gorgeous snow fall. I haven’t measured but it’s over 12″ of fluffy, pure white, beautiful snow. How amazing to think this is just “my” little corner of the world, and I couldn’t begin to count the number of snowflakes. Yet God made them individual & they’re each different?! And this is just snow – it melts, has no lasting/staying power, it will blow away (shortly I’m sure), it doesn’t have a mind, feelings, nor was it made in the image of God Himself. He made it just for us to look at & enjoy – I don’t think it serves any specific purpose, except our pleasure. How good is our God?!!!!
This moose was sleeping in our backyard when I opened my living room curtains this morning at 7:30.
Looking at Pioneer Peak this morning, 8:10am and -2*. Yesterday we could hardly see more than a few cars ahead & definitely no mountains because of the amount of snow falling. This morning was clear, beautiful, gorgeous, cold & sunny! This was such a treat to see. Vince had to be at church early this morning, we don’t get clear views like this from our house & I’m not normally out this time of day. After dropping him off, I had time to take pictures, stop in at Fred Meyer’s, and went to a dear friends house to drink coffee & visit — all before church started! 🙂
Two of the FISHing Crew Puppeteers who performed this morning. They did amazing, it is so fun to see what this group of kids comes up with. They study a certain scripture & write the script. Thank you Marilyn, for taking the time to teach them these skills.
When we got to church at 8 this morning the plowing crew was already done! They had all the sidewalks shoveled & all parking lots plowed, which resulted in HUGE snow banks. After church/Sunday School, going through most of worship upstairs & then watching the FISHing Crew puppets the kids were more than excited to not be quiet any more, they wanted to jump out of the van & play.

Who cares that it’s only warmed up to 18* & they’re dressed for church? It made me smile & I enjoyed that it didn’t slow them down in the least. They’re using my snow scraper/brush to dig in the snowbank.
Tonight’s sunset (took the picture at 5:30pm) – we now have daylight until pushing 7’ish.
Other than backing up this site, the last time I looked at this blog was February 2nd and it’s now…
