Our Princess in Prince George

P1220723

We were on our way with the first blush of sunrise on our mountains…

P1220724

The roads were not as clear as we’d hoped (considering our last eventful drive to Prince George two years back), and were in fact clear ice for whole stretches of shady highway….

But traction was good nonetheless.  At least we were not riding bikes like this brave couple!P1220731

And the views were fabulous!

Eight hours later, there was Prince George.

But better yet, there was the little princess!

Now five months old, this is only the second time we’ve seen her but she seemed glad to make our acquaintance and we had a delightful visit!

And then home again, home again,  through wintery wasteland…but this time on clear roads…P1220826P1220828P1220840

We’re grateful for family a little nearer than they used to be, and for safe travels!

You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways…

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

In the Neighborhood…

The elk seem quite at home in our neighborhood these days.  I was sitting on the couch minding my own business the other morning when up popped a head at the window—it was a young one, just curious I suppose.

Another day I watched as this gentleman waited to cross the road safely…

The herd likes to hang out in the meadow just across the street behind our house.  So I hung out watching them one crisp and quiet morning…

Peaceful and uneventful.

There are no more flowers about,  but this one has a special beauty even after the bloom—isn’t this true of some people you know too?

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life. Prov.16:31ESV

Well, evening has fallen and I best be getting supper on the table. That’s it for this week!

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Rom 1:19-20 ESV
