"Frosty the Snowman"

For those of you who follow the weather, you may have noticed our part of the world got a whopper of a fall storm. We got about 9 1/2 inches here. Billings MT got 22 inches of wet, gorgeous white snow. Now, we expect this stuff in a month or so. This came a little early - but we'll take all the moisture the good Lord wants to send!

James wanted to put up the Christmas tree and immediately make a snowman. After some explaining, he settled for a snowman - carrot nose and all. The funny part was that it ended up on my front deck - not on the lawn as I would think. Wouldn't you like to wake up to this on your front deck?

Chrissy added to the joy by playing "Frosty the Snowman" many times on the piano. A true winterwonderland. Keep in mind - not all farmers are thrilled. The beans weren't out yet and sugar beets are still waiting harvest. So, as we do around here - we put our prayers in for some warmer and drier month so the fields can get finished if possible. I've learned that that is life in farming country - pray for rain, pray for sun, pray for rain, pray for sun....... Thank goodness the Lord understands these faithful farmers!
