    Good morning, ya'll. Hope ya'll have a SUPER SATURDAY. Goat Town Weather Channel says it's 27⁰ here this morning, heading towards 68⁰, clear. Heading to work 6AM-6PM. Maybe take Miz Carol out for dinner when I get off, it's the Queen of Goat Town birthday today. We celebrated with friends Thursday night and I surprised her with these earrings...she lost one of her single diamond earrings a few weeks ago, we took the remaining one by the jewelry store, they are going to make a new one to match. Told them I wanted to get a pair for her to wear now. She liked these, but picked out a really cheap pair that had her birthstone.
    Saleslady told her to go sit down so I could decide...lol...
    She literally cried at the table Thursday when she opened these, she had no idea I had gotten them...
    I'm glad it was happy tears and not
    :heidi: for :makeitrain"...

    Good morning, members.

    More melting today! 25⁰/41⁰ sunny calm

    Not much on today's to-do. Some grocery shopping.

    My upcoming winter camping trip, is next weekend. Some more prep. Time to check various batteries.

    We'll be heading out to eat for Valentine's Day.

    Be safe
    Be healthy

    Good morning. 25 now, heading for 50 today. Heading to the lake to fish and then pull off the fish house. The ice is 24” thick, but the landing ice where we drive on is getting rutted and soft.

    Not as cold as expected overnight so maybe it will also be warmer than predicted today. 38-40 for the high.

    Good morning.

    46/56 with much needed rain.

    Planning to do very little today.....I think the troops need a bit of rest.

    Have a blessed day everybody!



    Few pics from yesterday's activities.

    Expanding the flat area between the barns.

    Morning all. Just above freezing this morning but no frost. Looks to be a partially sunny day.

    Sure glad the week is over. It has been an up and down week. I will be working a bit next week as well.

    Agape refers to a pure, willful, sacrificial love that intentionally desires another’s highest good. How to explain the love that God has for us? Words are not quite adequate. God's love for us is at time beyond our comprehension yet he gives us examples that we can relate to.

    “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! Isaiah 49:15

    And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16

    And an expression of the ultimate love of God is John 3: 16, 17

    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

    Today, take time to tell someone that God loves them.

    Happy Sabbath, everyone

    Good morning, members.

    Hopefully a nice day. 23⁰/37⁰ sunny. We never did see the sun yesterday.

    Time to refill the deck rack.

    More putzing around with camping gear.

    Olympics will suffice while taking a nap.

    Be safe
    Be healthy

    Good morning. It is 29 here, heading to 50 again for the 3rd or 4th day in a row. However, there is still another 2 months of potential for significant snow.

    Good morning FHC!

    Another mild day on tap.

    Observing "the Lord's Day" this morning with Holy Mass.

    Then on Wednesday, Lent begins with the observance of Ash Wednesday.

    Have a good day! :)
