We had the most beautiful February!
Yes, it was dangerously bitter cold for a couple of weeks, but we also had days with milder temperatures.
And there was a lot of snow!
This snow blower was from the time we lived in Holmen, which was many years ago and before we lived on the farm.
We gave it to one of Blake’s co-workers when we moved to the farm.
He got a bigger one several years later, and brought it back to Blake at work.
It was sitting in one of the shops there!
Blake brought it back home and the guys worked on it and got it running again!
We are glad to have it for the bigger snow storms.
One Saturday Blake and Lane scooped all of the snow off of the deck.
It was getting heavy!
On the milder days, all of this snow made for many hours of outside play for my trio!
They literally would be outside for hours on end.
They built an amazing sledding hill off of our electrical box in our side yard.
I would either find them sledding or building forts most days!
The Lord blessed us with SO many beautiful sunrises and sunsets during those cold days!
If you feel like the Lord is not near to you, just look at the sky.
It ALWAYS takes my breath away!
Another blessing that the cold and snow brought was SO many customers to our bird restaurant!
We joked that we were going to need a loan to keep feeding them.
They take my breath away too.
I cannot even express with words how big God felt to me when we had over ten red cardinals visiting our feeder every single day!
Look very closely at this first photo – I tried to get as many of them in one photo as I could!
We also had a red tail hawk soaring around our land for many days.
I had a hard time getting a good photo of him.
He was so huge and majestic!!
As I am typing this I am listening to the pouring rain on our steel roof.
The beginning of March brought spring like weather to Twin Oaks, and all that snow is almost gone!
Isn’t the saying “In like a lamb, out like a lion?”
Yikes!
I don’t think these temperatures are here to stay just yet, but time will tell.
We are enjoying them while they last!
Snow storms, hats, mittens, and boots seem like a distant memory already.
Can’t wait to see what the Lord brings for the month of March!
Happy March, everyone!
