Appearances can be deceiving

It looks pretty.

Karl likes it.

Karl likes it so much he was out in it most of the day!

The truth is, it was a heavy, wet, slushy snow. It was like being in a snow globe as it was falling. It fell so hard and heavy that I had to lower the blind behind my computer – it was making me dizzy to have the volume of large moving things in my peripheral vision.

It is pretty, but kind of a yucky mess :)!

Not everyone was fooled by appearances.

OMG!

OMG!!! 51 ??? in February???

Yowza!!

Not sunny at my house and my gauge says 47 but gosh, even 47 is a bit un-February-like!

Karl can’t believe it either.

Bob’s astonishment is short-lived…

Let not your heart be troubled

“Let not your hearts be troubled” Jesus Christ (John 14 several verses)

I sat in the morning quiet to read, pray and just be…with Karl and Bob and those words: “Let not your heart be troubled” came to mind as clear as if they were spoken. And the next words: “Abide in me”.

Karl, Bob, those words…that’s all I need for this Friday.

Ladies of the woods

These two were keeping an eye on Karl who was keeping an eye on them. It was a watching standoff. Finally, Karl remembered that he had a treat in the snow and he went looking for that. The girls trotted on.
