| View of our driveway this morning. |
It has been bitterly cold all across the country. I am thankful we have been able to stay indoors for several days. The snow has been falling almost non-stop for a couple of days. I ventured outside early this morning to get some pictures.
I wore fingerless gloves so I could manage the camera. After just a couple of minutes, I was so cold, I could barely move my hands! I quickly went back inside. Looking at the temperature, I realized it was 6 below zero! It is too cold to be outside!

Today, I will enjoy the view from the parlour as I look out the window. I am hoping it will warm up a little by tomorrow so I can get to the store.
In the meantime, I have to do a little baking. There are a few household chores that must be accomplished this morning. I plan to listen to old time hymns on the CD player and just think on that which is good and lovely and pleasant.
I hope you have been safe and warm through this major cold storm! May the Lord bless and comfort and provide for all of our needs today and always.
Blessings
Mrs. White

By all means, stay inside and warm, Mrs. White. Blessings!
We have indeed been trying to keep warm. It's been very cold here in northern Minnesota. Almost every night for the past couple weeks it has been at least 20 below zero and sometimes minus 35. We have four more nights of 22 to 25 below zero. Wind chills are even greater. But this is pretty much normal for our region so we are used to it. Last couple Sundays church has been canceled, and schools are mostly on at home learning. But winter is almost over! Another couple months and it will be spring, better known as "mud season" around here.
Your winter pictures are lovely. The stately pines are glorious in the snow. It sounds like you have a cozy day planned for indoors.
Grace and peace to you this day:)
My goodness! It would be rare to see snow like that here, Very pretty but not easy to get around, I'm sure.
Mrs. White, I could feel the coziness of your home as I read your words. The snow is beautiful but it looks so cold :) Stay warm this week!
