“True peace is not a balancing of opposing forces. It’s not a lovely facade which conceals conflicts and divisions.
Peace calls for daily commitment.
God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world.”
Pope Francis, Christmas Mass 2013
You better watch out…
You better not cry…
A little early, but we ARE at 48 North!
You better not pout…
I’m telling you why!
Santa Claus, is coming, to town!
A beautiful Christmas Eve Day in Northwest Montana: 36F, sunny blue skies and a possible, albeit early, sighting of Santa by Bear and Auggie.
BUT… We hope Rudolph is along as the forecast is for freezing fog overnight and on Christmas Day.
A very Merry, very Blessed and wonderful Christmas to all from Bear, Auggie and me.
Auggie in Action
This afternoon, with my phone…
And just in case, you’ve never seen “Simon’s Cat”:
A Midwinter’s night dream
4 inches of new snow.
And here comes my neighbor.
Not only does my drive get cleared…
…but the turn around…
In case of emergency…
I will be able to get Wild Thing out…
I had tears in my eyes watching today.
My driveway and turnaround is my responsibility.
But, these past years of “stuff”…
And my neighbors have been there for me.
It is overwhelming that they do this for me.
Happy and Blessed Christmas, Neighbors!
Happy Solstice all.
A Midwinter’s night dream.
