What a night! The 3rd picture was taken the other night before the big storm. I wanted to capture the mountains in the background but don't think you can make them out. I worked yesterday at Hudson Falls Elem. School as an aide for 16 kindergarten students. About 9 a.m. we began to watch the early morning rain turn to big fat snow flakes and then the accumulation began. By 1:30, we suited up and went outside to romp in it. Those with appropriate clothing made snow angels. The first few inches were very dry and fluffy and wouldn't allow any snowmen to be built. After 35 mins. we trouped back inside shedding all that wet clothing. We adults kinda figured we would not be coming back Friday. Sure enough, no school today. The main roads are always kept very well up here but the side roads and driveways are terrible. My steps and porch are a sheet of ice. The sun just peaked through for 5 mins. and lit up the icey trees. It is like magic. But very difficult to shovel or walk on since it very crusty. A foot of snow topped by an inch of ice. I am grateful my power has stayed on but many are without. My snow plower came but I called him back to plow out the barn yard. After working on my car for an hour to open the doors and scrap the thick ice off, I decided to put it in the barn. There are few cars on the roads just huge plows and pickups with plows.
I have made split pea and ham soup this morning. I hope to bake some bread or english muffins this afternoon. I would like to go to the gym but don't dare drive. It is now in the 20's so everything is frozen.
We are safe and tucked in for a long weekend. The following is a message that I focus on constantly and I hope you find it helpful as well.
You must trust me wholly. This lesson must be learned. Doubt always delays. Are you trusting all to me or not? From Two Listeners
