And Today....

Go to my blog post from one month ago today and hit repeat.

We had another blizzard yesterday and the wind has yet to die down, so we have yet to see a plow. Wilbert is working hard to blow the snow to get the bales and silage he needs to feed the cows. We are not as desperate for the milk truck or feed to come this time around, so that is nice. It is March Break this week (known as Spring Break in other parts of North America, but it never indicates spring the maritimes), so no one has school anyway.) That is good because this looks like it will be another long clean up. Especially since there is more snow in the forecast for Wednesday.

This time around it sound like we got about 50 cm (about 1' 7"). Winds are pretty strong, but not as bad as the storm a month ago. Funny how this winter puts things in perspective. They are saying we have broken the record for total winter snowfall now. The thing that I think is so different about this winter is that normally the snow melts a bit during the warm days that come along. This winter has been cold so pretty much all of the snow we have gotten this winter is still here.

Once the wind dies down, I will get out and take some pictures again.

Mataya got to go with her daddy to check on the corn. It will be ready to harvest soon! They decided to take some pictures. Mataya was so excited, she forgot to let daddy be in the picture. There we go. I thought this was sweet picture of a girl and her daddy.

Emissary by Thomas Locke

When you open the pages of Emissary by Thomas Locke, you enter a world quite different from our own. Magic is practised, but only in certain places and ways. There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years. And the one person who may have the answer to it all is an unlikely hero named Hyam. As a child, Hyam studied in the Long Hall with the magicians who know and practice magic. His gift was to be able to learn languages with an astounding speed. Yet, he was dismissed from the hall and only returned when his mother begged him too on her death bed. Hyam soon discovers he has powers beyond the mastery of language and understand the the fate and future of this world rests in his hands. Along the way, he teams up with Trace, an older magician who leaves his post as Master of a Long Hall to assist Hyam. He also frees a woman named Joelle and their friendship ...

The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass by Katie Powner

A fter years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing...
