A week is only 7 days long, but can sure feel like a season at times! In the last week, we've went from a spring time tease, to a Ozark ice storm, leaving us with over a inch of ice on everything! Thankfully, we never lost power or spirit as winter tries to remind us that this season isn't over yet! In the aftermath, a special kind of beauty covered the landscape in a icy tomb, moisture of this kind will soak in the ground like Miracle Grow in spring! Mother Nature is truly awesome!
I wanted to thank you all for the prayers regarding my husband being laid off, I have a happy report to share on that front, he got a job this last week at a smaller welding shop, the pay is alot less and he has to learn another way of welding ( from metal to plastic) and there is no insurance but it's a job! We are thankful for this lead, living in a small town, the opportunities are limited but we will see where this leads, for now, it will pay the bills.
And now, back to spring time thoughts and planning! While my husband was at home, he got the garden tilled and potatoes and onions are in the ground! Our summer forecast is predicting another hot and dry summer so we are taking the old timers advice and getting the garden in early to beat the drought. It will be interesting to test this theory!
The sun shines today, the ice is melting and a brand new week awaits! Hoping yours is blessed with all things bright and beautiful! Thank you for visiting, you are AWESOME!!!
So Glad to hear the great news. Our God always make provision!
ReplyDeleteMay you have a wonderful week.

So glad to hear your husband got another job. Something is certainly better than nothing and he is WORKING!! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteWe have had and still are having a wet wet winter and into Spring. I did get some seeds started in yhr house and in the cold frame. We leave most of the veggies to Bob's son Jim. He lives on the property and has a HUGE gard all veggies and so many different kinds. All organic---so we plant flowers and some veggies we only want for us. LOl MB
So happy that your husband has a job. We know that transition well - blessed to find a job but had a big pay cut. It all works out, somehow :) Hope your neck of the woods isn't expecting more ice! We still have about 10" of snow on the ground, and maybe 8" more to come tonight. Oh boy!! Ready or not, here it comes. I love it that you already have some garden planted!! That was very smart - not so prepared here :) -Tammy
ReplyDeletegood news about your husband finding a new job...I hope he will enjoy it. Ice storms are amazingly beautiful but can do so much damage. The ice on your bird house is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat's such great news!! God always provides, sometimes it's all in his timing! I would have never thought of planting now, you'll have to post something when the crops start coming up. We still have to get our green house ready. It's cold and yucky here today, they are calling for a little more snow. We need so much more to get us out of this drought we are in. Colorado just isn't getting the snow we normally get this time of year. It's pretty scary out there!
ReplyDeleteStay warm and cozy!
