Cold, Icy Weather

Just when we thought the weather was getting a little better and a little warmer, we are entering our fourth day of consecutive rainfall and high winds. Saturday was the worst with trees uprooting, debris floating about, roof tiles coming undone and power outages.

The only damage we incurred around the property was a broken clay planter.

Evenings are gorgeous, but the extreme cold prevent us from fully enjoying the sights.

Mornings are the hardest, but it gets better once I get moving. I am an outdoor person; but due to the severe weather I have limited my time outside as much as possible. I make sure my kids dress warmly for school and sometimes put an extra jacket in their backpacks, just in case. This has been by far the coldest winter.

We hope these rainy and extremely cold days will soon come to pass.
For those of you across the US Midwest, our prayers are with you as you fight the extreme weather.
