It is not real rare, but we are hardly one month into Spring and we get a snow. I remember a day in April of 1971 we received about six inches during the day, and it was gone by sundown.
Here are a couple of pictures from this morning, and from our front porch…
It is wonderful to live in the southwest Missouri Ozarks. You just never know what the weather is going to do.

It is wonderful, and a blessing from Almighty God to be a citizen and living in the United States of America. Some may laugh when I say this, but I really do endeavor to stay out of political issues. There are times that I feel I must open my mouth, and many times insert foot.
There is much in our government that is evil, wretched, and almost beyond my comprehension. I do not understand how a man could run for the office of the Governor of a State, shortly after having a sexual encounter with a woman, not his wife, and then portray himself as a “Family man”, but it has happened; and not only a family man, but a “Religious man” as well.
Then, our President has a very bad habit of name calling which is not only uncouth but ungodly and not Christ-like in any possible way. He, however, is not perfect, and neither am I; and that does not excuse the vile words he or anyone else uses. We ought to challenge ourselves to do better with our words, our vocabulary. I heard many years ago that an individual who cusses is showing their lack of education. Let us all become better educated with good, wholesome, and encouraging words; rather than always trying to denigrate others.
To be honest with you I am completely disgusted with the politics of our day. Neither party can be trusted to do what the people desire, and they certainly are not into doing what God and His word say. I place my trust in God the Father, and His Son Jesus to superintend the events of every day of my life, the family, the State, and the federal government, and the world governments.
I will pray for our Governor and the President, do what I can as a citizen of this nation, and I will continue to live as a citizen of Heaven because that is the home for which my heart longs.
What a wonderful life it is when you put your faith and trust in the Lord, our Creator, rather than in the governments of men.

Just praying all have a wonderful, blessed, and Happy, Happy, Happy New Year. From the banks of Flat Creek, the old site of the Ole Blankenship Mill near Jenkins, Missouri.
