I'm happy to see March arrive. We're getting closer to nice weather, the days are longer and the sun is showing itself a little more frequently. We got 3 inches of snow last night, so we're not done yet, but I see the end in sight!
Here's how the first day of the month went for me.
I started the morning downstairs on the treadmill. You can see that the table down there is filled with things. Bob and I did some cleaning of our storage area the day before and filled the table with things to go to the charity shop this week.
Here's the view out of our front door when I came back upstairs. It was only 11 degrees, but look at that sunshine!
By 8:40 we were on our way to church. The roads were pretty icy, but we enjoyed the blue sky.
Along the way, we saw another sign of Spring. The maple trees have been tapped. Because it was so cold, the sap was frozen in the bags.
We have Sunday School before the church service. The class I'm in is Answers in Genesis and we're really enjoying it.
Here's people chatting in the Narthex between Sunday School and church. Our Pastor was sick today, so we had a message from a retired Pastor who is a member of our church. The message was on the trials we all have at times and how God works through them.
We were home about 12:15 and had chili for lunch which was waiting for us in the crock pot.
The sunshine lured us outside for a walk after lunch. The temperature had made it up to 29 and the new snow was melting!
The woods aren't ready for us to walk in yet, but I see some critters have been using the path.
We stopped to say hi to the horses and then went back home.It was a quiet afternoon with a short nap and some reading!
Here's the view out the front before we had supper. The snow is melting fast.
After supper we enjoyed some of our favorite shows. This one is The Beau Chateau, about the renovation of an old chateau in France. We also watched a British Crime show (Grantchester) and The Repair Shop.Another blessed day, and anticipating the month ahead.
Happy March!
Dear Mari, your photos are beautiful. I ❤️ love horses, how nice to see as well. It's great you gathered some items for the charity shop. 😀
ReplyDeleteHi Mari! Looks like you had a great March 1! We are also studying Genesis in our Sunday School class at church right now. Charly and I are getting rid of lots of things we don't need any more and took some things to donate to our favorite thrift store Friday night. Glad you had some sunny weather today. We had a gray and cloudy weekend, but it was really warm for this time of year. Won't be long and we'll all be complaining about how hot it is! I hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteYour chili looks delicious. Love that big horse! Now that's something we don't see here in California - maple tree orchards. I'll trade you a almond tree for one of your maple trees? My husband would love fresh maple syrup.
ReplyDeleteGrantchester is one of my favorite shows!
ReplyDeleteI love the British crime shows, especially "Brokenwood" And "Miss Scarlett. We subscribe to Britbox and Acorn. What a gorgeous photo of the horse in the snow!
