Christmas blessing

Wishes to you for a blessed Christmas. Love your family and try to realize how blessed you are to have them near you to celebrate in this season. (Peter, is Europe having a horrible winter, also?) Don't willfully get to the point where you do not celebrate with your family. (advice from me)

It is snowing AGAIN up on the ridge. Jake left about 8:00 am to be in the LaCrosse County garage if any of the snow plow trucks needed mechanical help. It was going to be two days extra off from work, but "old man Winter" had other ideas. Doesn't winter care that we won't have lambs in the spring if Jake doesn't get some more time off?


And these are the two outside porch kitties. The big yellow one, Fuzz Nutless, can't go in the house because he is mean to everyone. The "other house" ....read.......(one room schoolhouse moved here and turned into living quarter by former owner) is the "cat house" when it is cold. The other cat, Spotty, is "challenged" and can go in but sometimes doesn't. They have formed a "mutual admiration society" when it is bitter cold. They huddle together to stay warm here on the ugly, ugly porch.
