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 awhilebefore 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!

Ashley

Pray that my parents Glenda (mostly her, I think) and Alan forgive me and don’t throw me out. I made a mistake, it was small compared to other things I done, but it was still very bad in my mum’s eyes, I think it is because my dad is sick. I hope my physio gets cancelled tomorrow by people working there, as dad is sick. I am on very thin wire. My mum says I treat her badly every day, that is not true, at least I think that. My mum has a worse temper than mine, in my opinion. I worry about being homeless or worse or even dead. My dad has been sick for a while and only got worse yesterday. Help me do a lot better as a person, as I worry about doing the smallest things wrong can cause me to be kicked out. My mum has mental health issues. I hope my period doesn’t come in quite a while as when I have it or just before it is usually when I do the dumbest things and limited control of my behavior and don’t want to be kicked out because of them. I worry what I’ll do wrong next, it’s scary.

I’m Ashley. My mum Glenda is right, to degree, but I don’t think she understands we are in food desert, I understand she wants to make food from recipes. I tried to tell her but that didn’t go well and forced into this mess. Cooking is a nightmare with her. We are out of town. Even back at home where there’s more, cooking will be nightmare. She has mental health issues. Things are getting worse. Hope have the time to wash the extra dishes, as when I did something recently, due to something she didn’t tell me I wasn’t supposed to do, long story, but it took longer than usual to wash dishes. It’s supposed to snow in the next while, hope it snows very little or not at all, as it snowed a lot recently, and hope it doesn’t snow on Wednesday as I have an old medical scooter which hope still works, and I need to go to physio and water (from snow) can damage the battery.
