63F, imagine that...

the melting went on all day...
and the sun peaked through a couple of times...
but mostly it was like this...
and I sat here and watched the fog roll into the north part of the yard from the lake that kept growing in the field...

and as the wind blew, it left ripples in the pond...
that traveled between the rows of last year's cornstalks...

as tiny stalks of grass emerged from its blanket of white...

only to be quickly swallowed whole by the ever enlarging puddles...

I did venture out right before DH got home...

and by then, the sun had come out again...

and the mud and spent leaves were not as pretty as the cover of white it once had...

there was no where to step that didn't have either mud, standing water or both...

some of the standing water had a layer of ice under it yet...

but it was so good to be outside...

with the sun hitting my face again...

the storms came through, followed by high winds...
but we are ok...
missed the worst of it...
just more heavy rain...

and there is the one who never seems to sleep...
who waits for me to pick her up...
and loves to cuddle already...
she will be a special friend for someone...
she was born with an old soul...

and I have been making more of these...
and I love this verse...
telling me its going to have some bumps...
but He who watches over me...
takes care of me...
loves me...
has it already conquered...
and just knowing that, gives me peace...

so Friday blessings to you...
as we slide back into winter...
and all things slippery...
have a fantastic weekend...
;)
