We Are Having A Real Winter This Year

 According to weather sources we are in a neutral pattern, not an El Nino or a La Nina, and somehow that has made our weather in the Mid-Atlantic region frigid and snowy.

Right now at 9:15 am it is 13 degrees with a real feel of 1. It will get  to be 26 today, but that is unusual weather for us. Some winters we might have a few days of super cold weather but not months of it!

I am definitely looking forward to Spring. I have begun looking at flower catalogues! I almost bought some yesterday but for five small seed packets, the shipping was going to be higher than I wanted to pay. I'll go to my local garden shop and look at seeds and plants, soon.

I can't wait for my roses to be in bloom again!

And my peonies, too!

And eat fresh strawberries!

I can't wait!

God made the seasons, and he gives us good things in each one.

"Summer, and Winter, and Springtime, and Harvest

Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above.

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love."

I frequently wake in the night and one thing I love to do is peek out the window and see the stars, planets, and the moon. Last week the moon was still so bright and I could clearly see the shadows of the tree trunks on the snow!

Here is a photo I took from my chair in the living room of the full moon on the 1st of February.

Of course this photo is cropped and so there is some blurriness, but there was none that night and it was simply stunning.

Here are a few other recent happenings.

A new five year old in the family!

I got a new used chair that is just perfect for my home! This wingback chair, was at a local reuzit shop, and my bestie found it for me! $40 bucks!

I am getting ready to take my mom to the eye doctor for a regular check up. 

Remember, no matter how stressful the world is, we can lean into Jesus and to continue to make our homes havens of peace.

Friends, winter is wintering here in Lancaster County. Our cottage, which looks nothing like the one above, is cozy and comfortable in spite of the cold warning we just got, and the light snow falling. We are in for a brutally cold weekend with a wind advisory, too! We will probably go to church but otherwise, I think we'll be in all weekend.

I got a negative comment this week on my post from January 30th. I haven't had a negative comment for sometime. Over a year ago I had to get blogger involved in blocking someone who was becoming threatening to me and my family. I fully believe in free speech, and when I come across someone who has differing opinions to mine, I just move on without comment.

Here is the comment - I came here expecting to find a christian site and instead found this satanic, pedophile-worshipping garbage. May God have mercy on your soul.

Here is my response - God already has had mercy on my soul! I have been sharing satanic, ped*phile people for sometime now, but I think you and I believe differently about who they are!

I don't know who this person is or how from my blog description they expected to find a "Christian" site. They are welcome here, unless they begin attacking me or my family. 

 Now to the information -

So much of what is coming out now from the 3M released documents from Epstein is stuff I've been aware of for the last 6 years. I don't say that to be bragging or proud, but during covid I starting following people who lead me to other people and other information. I had to pray and sort through what was true. Some people I followed in the beginning turned out to not be good sources, but I learned as I went.

I'm frankly amazed that we are here were it is mainstream now. I'm thankful!

This was not on my radar at all! Benghazi was 14 years ago, but it's always been a terrible thing. I don't think Obama or Hillary are very happy today.

Benghazi was so bad. People need to go to prison for this!

Not sure what is happening here. I've got my eyes on it.

I hope he's been fired and charged for interfering in an investigation.

I hope that where ever you are you are warm and safe. Tim and I are continuing to pray together at 9:00 pm most nights.

Have a great weekend.

Roses from years gone by! It helps to look at their beauty while stuck in a season of frigid temperatures! One thing we know for certain is that our faithful God set the seasons in motion and they will continue until he returns.

Have you seen the video yet of Alex Pretti 11 days before he again violently engaged with agents and was killed? 

Language warning.

I feel saddened by the death of this man. He had lost his job for behavior at the hospital where he'd been working. His parents warned him that if he was going to protest to not engage with the agents.

I stand behind his constitutional right to carry a weapon. Do I think it wise to do it at these protests? No. 

These people are not just standing with signs, or marching down the street. They are getting in the way of Federal Agents doing their work. This is illegal. Protesting is not illegal. 

All law enforcement officers are trained to protect themselves and other agents. If you have a gun, and or seem to be going for it or pointing it at officers that is going to get you shot. Have you ever heard the term "suicide by cop?" Sometimes people who want to die, will point a weapon at officers and end up dead. 

It's all horrible, and the officers carry those deaths with them.

I wish Mr. Pretti had made a different choice that day.

Remember how the left and the mainstream media tried to gaslight us and tell us these people were lying about the election fraud in Georgia? Remember that in the last month or so, Fulton County quietly admitted that they ran over 300,000 ballots that should not have been counted. Criminal!

Tina Peters in her job as an election official tried to show that fraud had taken place and Colorado prosecuted her and put her in prison. She's been in for nearly two years, is not well, in her 70's and she is a gold star mom. President Trump pardoned her and keeps calling for her release, but since it was state charges only the Governor of Colorado can release her and he won't.

The Russia collusion stuff and the election fraud of 2020 are tied together. I believe it is finally all going to come out.

Here is some great news that may have been missed.

Stay warm friends!
