It is cold this morning. When we went walking it was 25 degrees. So this is how I feel on a very cold day. I am thankful that the sun comes up each morning to warm the earth and give us new energy. I hope your days are good ones and the sun shines on you today. Or else you can take a nap like this one.

Winter

It is so cold here tonight.about mid thirtys and the wind is howling, not just blowing. It was snowing earlier before sunset up on Pine Vally and it looked like Cedar City area was getting pounded. It was also snow clouds over Kolob and Zion National Park. Whew, I guess winter has come to visit. I sure hope it clears up before Thanksgiving. I am so looking forward to having family come to Ann's Sky Ranch home for dinner on thanksgiving it will be really good to see everyone. It has been quite a long time since seeing some of our family. AND we love you all. More tomorrow. Maybe the wind will stop by morning.

How great it is to wake up and ready to get out of bed and start a fresh new day. It is so pretty and calm this time of day, I love to walk outside and see all those millions of stars. They are brighter in the moornings than any other time, maybe it is because the air is so crisp and clear. also if you listen close you can hear the animals waking up, like chickens, dogs, coyotes, cows, does it sound like I like the country, I do.
On another note I am thankful for mornings and clear head because I think of each of my family and how thankful I am of each one of you. How much I love you and the joy I feel whn I think of happy times with you. May the sun shine on each one today and May the wind be in your faces to blow all your troubles away. You are loved by me.

I want to let those who follow my blog know how thankful I am for each one of you in my life. As we walk in the mornings and catch up on the happenings of the previous day I think about friends and family, each one of you are thought about and appreciated each day. I love reading the blogs I get to follow. What did we do to stay in touch before we had the internet. Snail mail took forever, I think of the times that I had loved ones so far away and we would write to each other to see how each was doing and by the time a letter would arrive whatever was going on was already history. Now I can blog, e-mail, facebook or whatever we choose to stay in touch in just minutes. Thank heaven for the good things in life!! I am so excited for Thanksgiving this year, many of our family will be together and I love, love love the times we can all be together and cherish one another.
Today I am also grateful for each one of my grandchildren, Kalin who plays football and they won their game Saturday and get to go up to Rice Stadium and play this next Friday. way to go Hurricane, the rest of my handsome grandsons and beautiful granddaughters. Kenzie is a princess in a play, a ballerina dancer.
guess I better close for now and tell you about the rest of them in another blog. Love you all this day and always..

Hooray!!! Yesterday I finally got the back yard fully fenced in, what a tiring job..the big benefit is no more pooper scooper for the back lawn, yeah...no more chickens by our bedroom window, no more dog hair on the back patio. Now every one has a place to be. the chickens are in the coop, Eli has the run of the pasture, and he loves that because now he has more access to herd the chickens, and we have a patio we can use and keep clean, and I can refurbish the lawn so it is once again a lawn and not a weed patch. So therefore... I am thankful that I have the strength to accomplish small jobs, like fencing the back yard, and thankful that everyone is now in thier proper place. Have a great day everyone and know I love you.

What a beautiful morning, the moon is so big and bright it almost looks like daylight,I am thankful this morning for telephones that keep us in touch with loved ones far and near. The phone brings us all kinds of news, it makes it so we can stay in touch instantly where ever we are, and just think when I was a teenager we had a phone on a line with nine other people. we would pick up the phone and wait for the operator to say "number please" and when the phone rang you might have several people in on your conversation. How times change. I am so grateful for my family for I have been blessed with beautiful daughters and wonderful handsome sons. Righteous children are a blessing from heaven. How fortunate they are to have great dad to follow. I am blessed, and I am grateful.
