A Joyful Keeper

I woke up this morning at 6.30 to a very cold house. The fire had gone out, and it was freezing! Outside, it was literally freezing. I pulled on my clothes and headed crunched out over the frosty grass to the woodshed, to cut some kindling and get some small bits of wood to get the heater going again. That warmed me up a bit!

I went back in and lit the heater, made myself a cup of tea, and hubby a “coffee to go” in his thermos mug thingo. Poor dh was in shock to see me up and about. I told him not to get used to it, it may never happen again! He chuckled.

Next to the heater and with cuppa in hand, I got my electronic water bottle (ie laptop computer) and started doing some visiting in blogland. It was so nice and quiet.

When the kids got up, Elizabeth headed out with the camera and took the above photo. She also had some fun doing her own “trick photography”. She excitedly showed me a mountain of snow in our front yard…..

…. which in reality was the frost on top of the car. Got to give her points for creativity.

A little later my children’s tummies were in need of warmth, so I cooked up a pot of porridge.

Now the sun is shining and the frost is starting to melt. It is going to be a lovely day.

 

This is the day which the LORD hath made;

we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24
