The sunrise over the fields made me realize…. life really is good.

• That freezing weather is perfect for getting rid of bugs for next year’s crops.
• The snow came first, and it was a wet snow.
• This snow is a really good insulating blanket protecting our plants.
• There is water in the mountains, which means water for the crops.

Tallen came to visit us. 

Tallen is Grandpa’s Girl! Don’t get me wrong, she loves Grammy,

but she only has eyes for Grandpa!

And…

She brought Odie to visit with her!

(Odie got tired of Monkey trying to chase him so he headed to the top of the towel cupboard in the bathroom.)

So enough of the negative —  it really is a wonderful world!
