In like a lamb, in like a lion

Well, we have certainly been spoiled here in God's country. The fall seemed to go on and on and on. It has been amazing. Chilly, but sunny. With highs reaching the 50's and 60's. Gorgeous perfect fall weather. And then.........................

Wham! The lion of winter pounced! And boy did he growl. We got rain, that turned to snow as the temps dropped. The snow turned to ice and the great and powerful NorthWind has been a'blow'n. And as one person said in the elevator this morning - "remind me why I live here?"

And we all said "Cause it's God's country"

"Oh yeah, he said, I almost forgot."

But the Lion of winter brings with him cozy sweaters, warm nights snuggled under blankets, hot chocolate, ice rinks, snowmen, and happy puppies frolicking in the snow. And it means the holidays, and family the way they should be. Snowdrifts outside and warm happy conversations inside. Spiced cider, fresh baked bread, lasagna, tomato soup and grilled cheese.

Forget the locks being frozen and the car doors not opening. That's what new garages half built alleviate.

This is God's country!
