Yesterday, it rained. We were so hoping that it would be nice so that the farmers could get all their crops off the field. So many fields are yet to be cleared. It was nice on Friday and Saturday both, so we were hoping it would continue. It didn't. Lots of rain yesterday. And last night it went to 0 degrees so there was frost on the roof tops and grass this morning. Beautiful crystals on everything. One good thing - thankfully, on Sat. we put up our Christmas lights on the tree in our front yard. I hate tramping down all the snow (and freezing ) while putting up the lights in December. So, thought we would get a head start on it. They blend in nicely so we don't look like crazy people but still ... this morning with the frost, I was glad we did it!!

And, what a beautiful morning. It was totally calm and clear. Definitely need to get outside as the weather is perfect for walking. Even though it says only 4 degrees, it is supposed to get to 18 or 20 today! Yikes. And me thinking of Christmas already!
On a sadder note... Heard of another case of cancer. A friend who was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Going in for surgery. Another friend has breast cancer and is undergoing chemo now. A third is on a special trial drug as it is too late now for surgery or chemo. A few weeks ago, a friend my age had a stroke. All the more reason to enjoy the day: TODAY and this great weather - for you just never know. Life is fragile. We are made to be eternal beings but not of this world. A person has to take each day and live it to the full. Make the most of your special day.
Isaiah 26:33 You will keep in perfect peace, those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.
