More Challenges for February

Hello Winter

Anna Lift Challenge through 2/13/26 found here:  https://oscraps.com/community/threads/annalift-challenge-01-30-26-02-13-26.43845/ 

Araya decided she wanted to shovel the driveway on this very cold, winter’s day.  Momma decided she couldn’t let her 10 year old daughter shovel the long driveway all by herself so they both donned their winter gear and headed outside.  01/25/26

Let it Snow

52 Inspirations Challenge #2 found here:  https://oscraps.com/community/threads/february-challenge-2-52-inspirations-challenge.43803/ 

Saturday, January 31, 2026, we woke up to a quite a bit of snow.  Mark used the leaf blower to clear a path for Asher and to clear off the driveway somewhat.  We still had quite a layer of sleet/ice from the last winter blast the prior weekend.  Piper and Asher didn’t really want to go out and Asher even peed on the deck once!  It snowed all day:  sometimes heavily, sometimes lightly.  By bedtime I measured 9” out in the back yard and 11” in the drifts around the carport.  And it was cold!  Church was canceled for the 2nd week in a row.  Bro. Bobby preached from the warmth of his study at home and we listened from the warmth of our living room.  The snow measured 11” in the yard and 17” in the drifts!  Thank You, Lord, for allowing our power to stay on!

Friendship

Our good friend, Ilene, came to our house to stay during the winter storm that had been predicted to be very bad.  We did not want her to be alone in her house in case the electricity went out.  We have a generator that will help out in that case.  However, the Lord answered our prayers and the weather was not as bad as predicted.  She stayed Saturday night and Sunday night and we took her home Monday afternoon.  We played Qwirkle, Rummikub, and worked 3 puzzles and listened to our pastor’s sermonette on Sunday.  It was great having her with us!  1/26/26

Just As I Am

It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer!

1/27/26. Even though I took this pic on the 17th, I am feeling this way today...like I’m getting sick again!

January 2026 Winter Storm

As much as I hate the winter cold, I love the beauty of the scenery it creates after a winter storm!  Thank You, Lord, for Your protection during this storm.  1/26/26

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night.....not this time, Mr. Postman, did you brave the elements!

A Moment Captured

My dear friend, Ilene, opted to stay with us during the winter storm with the threat of power outages and icy conditions. 1/25/26

Memory

The storm began at 7:45 p.m. Jan. 24th with, not snow, but sleet.  And it kept piling up and looked like snow.  But, it was better than ice!  1/26/26

Time for a Change

We asked Michael if he would do the bathroom painting for us.  He used to work in construction.  He worked on it the Saturday before we got the flu.  He came back 2 weeks later to paint it.  It was a good decision on our part and for Michael!  1/17/26
