After the Storm

 
We could understand why they closed the roads yesterday
 
 
Marc's bus was in the ditch and by these temperatures
that is not fun. Our truck said -29C
 
 
Another layer on the snowbanks
 
 
On route to Genesis in Travers city Michigan
 
 
It's kind of fun to go for a drive in the morning
 
 
The snow plow hadn't been here yet
 
 
lots of steam coming from the barns
 
 
the road where the bus was stuck
 
 
These guys have seen a lot of snow
 
 
Milk truck day

The SHIP Sunday Evening

 
Stephen practising the sermon for the SHIP
 
 
We ate together
 
 
after set-up and before prayer
 
 
Did Jesus rise from the death
I listened to Stephen practising but found myself distracted
Later when he did it "for real" and it was the only thing I did
it was so much better.
 
made me think of the parable of the 4 fields
thistles, path, rocks and good soil
The word is good but we are the field and
when we are distracted the word can't do much
 
We have had so much positive feedback for both Olga & Stephen
hope they will bring the message again sometime
For us it was a very good day

Trimming the Hedge




Our hedge is accessible with snowshoes









Less snow on this side, but I only cut those branches sticking up
they were harder to trim in the summer
Have to go back for some big branches

Wild Turkeys

 
Rien spotted the wild Turkeys already
when they were still on the way to the farm
 
 
They walked right by the house
 
 
Going through the deep snow
 
 
They've been seen before
 
 
Rien thinks they like the Brewers Grain

Looking for Owls finding Hawks

 
Rien drove and I took the camera along
 
 
So many Hawks are up in trees
 
 
as soon as you slow down they take off
 
 
One of these days I hope to get a real close-up

It took Marc a little over an hour
 
 
A great day for snowmobiling
 
 
Drayton is not on the trails, except a short side trail
 
 
just to get gas
