Snow arrived early this year!

Yes, yesterday we actually got a couple of inches of snow here at the house. Of course, James was up at his deer lease and had a lot more, but I was happy to get what we did. Winchester was happy too.

He had a blast playing in the snow! He didn't know what to make of it at first, but he really got into it after awhile. Coco enjoyed it too, from her cozy spot on the couch.

As for me, I spent most of the day in front of the fire, watching a Harry Potter marathon. I was devastated when the fifth movie refused to play on the DVD player, but at that point James had finally made it home so we decided to clear out some of the DVR recordings.

It was a pretty fabulous snow day, but I'm afraid we are going to have to get some more firewood. I went through a ton this weekend! I absolutely adore a real wood burning fireplace, don't you?

It's been one year since a massive tornado devastated Moore, Oklahoma.

I remember sitting on my bed that afternoon, my eyes glued to the television. The meteorologists had been calling for bad weather for several days, and tornadoes had already torn through our state the day before. But the meteorologists were insistent that this day would be worse.

And it was. I watched as this huge tornado headed towards neighborhoods and schools. I prayed and cried and watched as the tornado kept moving, leveling everything in its path.

That outbreak of storms hit several towns in our state. So many people were affected by this insane weather outbreak. You can still see the damage as you drive through these towns.

So today, I'm remembering those who lost their lives, loved ones, and homes in that storm. Will you join me in taking a few minutes to pray for these people?

Snow Days are the Best Days
