Howling winds gusting to fifty mph and a cold draft woke me up today...opened the blinds and couldn't believe we had snow! The ground was white and with the strong winds it was somewhat like a mini blizzard. Guess we made it almost to the end of October before the snow flew this year so we can't complain. Last night the boys helped me clean up the last of the cut hydrangeas and emptied the big flower pots so at least those things are done before winter sets in for good.
It was a lazy but busy day. Because of the nasty weather we stayed home all day today so laundry and cooking were at the top of the list. Also got my bible study done early this week.
And of course as a Sunday, that means Brooks had to head back to Roseau. Of course mom looks forward to his return but it leaves the rest of us feeling sad. It is funny how each day he prepares to go, he always comes up with another 15 or 20 things he needs to do before he actually leaves. I call it stalling! I think he does too...glad he isn't in a hurry to leave us. He is such a great kid....so grown up and responsible in many ways, a good friend to so many kids of all kinds, doing great in school, loving hunting and hockey as he always has, probably wishing he could get a little fishing in though...praying he gets home safely as I always do. He and Phil should be back in Roseau any time now. He will call to let us know he made it so we can rest easy.
Rylan has had a few great days of smiles and attempts to coo....it is just soooo adorable! Thank you Lord for this very special little boy. Again, you knew what we needed at this very time. A HUGE BLESSING! Thank you thank you thank you...Thank you very Lord!
Goodnight kids...two at home, a grandson too, and two away, but always close in my heart.
