Rain and Wind....

       It's the beginning of another week. This past week was more or less uneventful, except for a great luncheon date with good friends. Lots of laughter and good conversation, along with a wee bit of foolishness, which is par for the course with us. They say laughter is good for your health. Hoping that is true.

We have some snow on the ground, but according to weather forecast rain and high winds are coming this evening and tomorrow. We shall see. The rains and wind have been buffeting the folks across the ocean, and down in the southern U.S. Floods, floods and more floods. One really doesn't know what to think about what strange weather is happening everywhere.

In Nova Scotia, the weather is quite variable but not with the extremes that happened last winter. Most of us have fingers crossed along with toes and eyes that the storms of last year are not repeated this year.

I haven't taken any new pictures, but I hope to get a few to share with you in the next little while.

It has been a quiet day today. I was very pleased with our choir this morning. At our biggest, we are 9, well,10 if you count me. This morning there were only 5, but they sang so beautifully. It is always amazing what God can do through us, when we choose to serve and do our best. They hadn't practised since before Christmas.

This is the week we start back to regular activities. I hope the weather co-operates.

My dear little Sadie would have been 12 this past Thursday. I still think of her, hear her and miss her so much, but it is getting easier most of the time.

The wind is picking up as I type. Wondering if the power will stay on tonight........

    1. That is the only way I get through each day, Ruth. I have a faithful little choir family, and we all depend on the Spirit to do what we do. Not many churches have choirs any more, and that is a real shame. I think choir music, even if very simple, adds much to the worship service.

  3. I heard that you're due for a storm, Bonnie. Stay warm and dry. Hoping you get to smile when thinking of your happy memories of Sadie.

    1. Blue sky and sun this morning, but the forecast is not that great. Not sure at this point whether it will be rain or snow or both.... I carry little Sadie in my heart, and there is always something that reminds me of her.
