March 18


It's been just beautiful here, with sunny skies and temps in the 50's. The snow is almost all gone, which I'm loving, but it causes trouble for those who live near the river.
This is taken near the Grand River where it is flooded. The front and center area of this picture is usually a driveway. As you can see, the poor people who live in this house are now having to use a boat to get back and forth from home!
PS - there is snow in the forecast for the weekend, so our thaw may be coming to an end. :(

Our crazy cat had a strange fascination with sinks and water. Whenever he hears us running water, he comes running. He loves to sit in the sink, especially when it's wet!
This is our half bath, and we frequently find him sitting in this sink.

The snow is nearly gone here, just a few small piles left here and there.
I actually took this picture last week, when there was a little more snow around. This barn is near my house and I showed you another view of it earlier in the year, but I thought you would enjoy seeing it again, with a little less snow!

March 12


We had a big rainstorm last night. This morning it was foggy outside and this evening the fog is coming back. The snow is melting fast!
This picture was taken as I crossed the bridge over the Grand River near my house tonight. I love the mist over the river.

After several days of sunshine, it was cloudy today. The snow is really melting, but this area is quite cloudy, so the snow remains.
This is the ruins of an old barn. It's sad to see those neat old buildings falling down.

This is a picture that I took at the hospital last week. The glass in these windows is frosted and each one has wheat at the bottom and an inspirational quote or verse at the top. The pillars came from an old section of the hospital that was torn down to build this section.
*Heather is improving and is going back to work for a half day tomorrow. Her latest heart test came back normal. She has appointments with our family Dr and a specialist next week.

Heather was able to come home Friday night. This was the beautiful view we had as we left the hospital.
We haven't gotten any answers as to what went wrong, as all the tests have been negative, but she is slowly improving and will be following up with a specialist.
Thanks for the prayers. Please keep praying for improvement and for answers!

Not such a nice picture today! This was taken in the ER, where I spent much of today. My daughter was admitted to the hospital after a strange time of confusion, for no known reason. They are running tests and so far have found no problem. She is now doing better, but is in the hospital on a floor where they can monitor her heart and neurological status.
I'll be back to visit your blogs when I can. In the meantime, we would appreciate any prayers for Heather.

This statue is in front of the library in our town. It was donated in memory of a man who liked to read to his grand kids. I've always liked it, and thought it looked kind of neat in the snow.

March 1


I can't believe it's March already! We had a beautiful day today. The sun was shining and the temperature reached 42 degrees. I had to work but left work with no coat and went for a walk wearing a jacket!
This fence has seen better days, but I like following it's curving path in the snow.
