In the spirit of Mardi Gras, March 5

Ash Wednesday, March 6

& St. Patty's Day, March 17,

 

Thinking, hmmm, "Spring,  hurry"

Praying for these cow miracles

     The Seas of snow have inflated to three feet in most pastures so the geese and ducks are everywhere;  swimming and laying in the seas of snow 

My Mardi Gras Duck card

      Mornings in Montana are mornings spent with God.  We get up early every day like clockwork, to feed the animals and love to see the miracle of life.  Lately with the arctic cold masses falling our way it is a miracle to see life in the mornings.  We thank God and the guys work really hard to manage the cows.  Cows are hearty as are most animals.  God has made animals especially tough, they inspire me to be tougher, ( I usually just put on a few more layers and call it good.)

     

 The Great commandment says :  "Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself."  And I cannot give enough thanks to my neighbors for helping me get through the feet of snow every morning.    Heartfelt love and thanks I give to thee.  So I am dedicating this months blog to neighborly gestures, please share yours as well.  One Good thing I love is our Little Library, handcrafted by a neighbor gentleman and used by neighbors sharing books.  At holidays, I wrap a book in brown paper and share a little reason why and who this surprise book would be good for, then slide it in the library.  

Having coffee with the neighbors is another great fun way to stay connected in your neighbor hood, drop by with cookies or coffee cake, it may begin a ritual for you.  Other fun gifts to bring:  some mini-potted herbs to bring the green inside, breadsticks in a pretty tall glass or what I love is my favorite neighbor brings me hand-stitched dish towels!!  Enjoy each other and always be thankful.  God bless all of you.
