After some beautiful summer like weather at the beginning of April that I wrote about here, we had a HUGE snowstorm!
I think we have a snowstorm at least once EVERY April – but they still always shock us and have everyone in the area talking about this crazy weather!!
This one really was a doozy!!
It started slowly, but picked up in intensity on a Sunday evening.
Monday morning brought these views!
Crazy weather!!
Monday morning I woke up determined to still live in the fact that it had just felt like summer, and put on my sandals, ha, ha!
It wasn’t too long after that that I had to go and get my slippers off the top shelf of our closet.
It was SO cold!!
We hunkered down, as always, during the storm.
Thankful it wasn’t longer or worse!!
By Monday afternoon it was clearing off – which is the way spring snowstorms usually go.
I took Lane to work with no problems!
The sun started to come out!
The guys scooped off the deck that night because there was so much snow and it was so wet and heavy.
It blew around so much out there, but I think we ended up with 18 inches or more.
I ordered a new rug for our bedroom that was on clearance.
The rug that was in our bedroom was very nice to look at, but that is where it ended.
Our dog, Ruby, liked to “dig” at that jute rug, and she had put about ten holes in it!
Jute also always “sheds” all over everything – and I was just tired of that fact.
Our new rug is not only beautiful, but cannot have holes dug into it, is soft to lay on, and it does not shed!
Those two cuties in the photo below LOVED it too!
Ready for some things that are in almost every single post I do???
Have any guesses??
How about school and food!
Let’s start with school, art included.
It is pretty much guaranteed that we ate well in April, that I enjoyed making it all, and that I had awesome helpers who enjoy that kitchen too!!
Look at all this yummy food!!
Did you all know that I am NaiNai??
Did you know I have five beautiful grand children??
NaiNai days are THE BEST!!
You know it is going to be a day with the grands when there are five little cups on the counter!
My hubby, those grands, these kiddos, our pups – they fill my life with JOY and FUN!!!
Blake and I just took a walk before I started working on this post, and I told him how much I LOVE THIS LIFE!!
I do not deserve all of this!!
Even though summer was over and winter was back, the second half of April was FULL and WONDERFUL!!!
I am SO grateful for ALL the Lord allows!!!
It is NOT always easy or what I would choose, but it is His best for us, that I am SURE of!
I hope you can see the Lord’s goodness in the good and the bad too!
P.S. Next up is a GREAT POST you won’t want to miss!!!
