The aftermath of this last mid January blizzard left bigger drifts!

The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!

Oh, Oh! After this last blizzard, it's going to be awhile

before eating outside is possible!

The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!

Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!

And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

See the News Item Below for the Four Days of Christmas!

For Katie & Alex Morton and our generational lines: Lord Jesus, convert us and deliver us from all evil, sin, curses, demons—past, present, future. Protect, heal, purify us; fill us with the Holy Spirit & burning love for You. Bless and convert our enemies. Open holy doors and surround us with holy people, jobs, and vocations. Grant us chastity, purity, charity, and Eucharistic reverence. Protect our holy relationships. End unholy relationships and situations, and cut unholy soul ties. Consecrate us to Your Sacred Heart & Mary's Immaculate Heart. Totus Tuus. Guide us to sainthood. Take the scales from our eyes. Show us the good and the penance you want us to do, and inspire us to do it. Humble us according to your designs and plans for us. Perfect us in your holy will. Open the doors that lead to holiness and close those that hinder it. Show us all the good you do for us every day. Amen.

Amen.
