See My Little Corner of the World

Since this blog is about my own little corner of the world, I guess I should show you what it looks like. Here are pictures of my home and property after the storm two weeks ago that dumped a foot of snow on us. We don't get that much snow at a time very often, but it was needed. We need snow each winter to melt and fill up the resevoir and raise the water table so we all have irrigation and drinking water. Sometimes the water drops lower and lower year after year until we worry about having enough. Some years people, especially farmers, fast and pray for moisture. So we were glad to get this snow. I'm not a snow lover. It is a terrible inconvenience for me and the mud it makes as it melts messes up my life. But snow does make everything look clean and beautiful for a day or two. After this snow, I could see how my attitude about life and home are changing a little through my efforts. I have been making conscious effort to get more activity into my life. My boys used to get out and do the shoveling. This time I was happy to get out and shovel because I kept thinking that it was giving me physical activity and getting me out of the house and into doing good for my home and yard.









Eventually the snow melted, everything turned to mud (including the floors of my house as it was tracked in) and everything went back to looking brown and normal again. I was very glad that I had bought irrigation boots last summer so I could get around in both the snow and the mud.
