Looking through pictures is usually a good way of finding just what we have been doing, but this time there were remarkably few revelatory photos. After all, who goes about shooting a dripping bathroom drain, a leaking faucet, another leaking faucet, broken stove tops, a non-functional oven, water coming into the basement due to to much ice outdoors, and a river flowing through the barn for the same reason? Yes, we really had all of those in the past month or two! But the Lord is providing solutions for which we are grateful.

But the photos didn’t reveal that angle of life. Primarily what I find here are the joys of little ones! They are so special!

Evelyn and I recently embarked on some large projects: Making quilts! It is slow work, but I’m sure it will be rewarding in the end!

This winter has been an odd one with little snow and many thaws. The driveway literally became an ice rink. William got out his skates!

As always, the outdoors draws cameras like a magnet. Numerous birds gather at our feeders… Can anyone tell I like chickadees? 🙂

And a few excursions draw out the beauties of our northern winter – despite the pathetically small amount of snow!
