Weather and Prayers....

 Sunday morning was raining cats and dogs. Then the wind picked up with gust up to 50 miles an hour . Gee, thought sure the hickory nuts would have all fallen. But there's a few hangers on.

 Yesterday(Monday) was a pretty new day. Started off like this.

Then by mid day it was starting to feel just a bit warm.  The skies were very pretty.

Afternoon, it was nice enough that I picked up branches from Sunday's wind . Ted worked on getting the wood box on the back deck for winter.

As the sun was setting, I took a walk about the property, saying prayers as I do this. .

 The Japanese maple is turning redder. The white mums have turned  brown from the extreme cold we've had.

 The birch tree looks nice with the setting sun shining on it's bark.

Actually in this photo our trees kind of look pretty. Honestly they all just about turn a yellowish brown before the leaves fall off.

This is the end of the Monday. Today is to be much nicer as far as temperatures go. It may reach 70. That is nice.  As I am typing this post, my heart is in my throat. I feel so anxious.
   I am going to ask all of you to please pray for my Ted. He's going to see his heart dr. this coming month. But we are trying to get him in a bit early. He's been getting winded when using stairs.  I am not sure he would have told me this if my daughters had not texted me after Saturday.  Ted helped my daughter Kathy move. She left an apartment on the second floor for another on a second floor. Ted had to stop to catch his breath a few times. My son in law and Ted's brothers were there to do the heavy lifting. Liz and Kathy did lots of the carrying of boxes.
  I will try to keep all of you posted about this, and I thank you for good thoughts, wishes and prayers. XO
