storm inches forward and Great Lent is about to begin

it has begun. Pictures from an hour or so ago.  I already read of some power outages.  Hopefully we will keep power! But if not, we have a gas stove top (so hot tea, soup, etc), candles and lots of blankets.   

We did some laundry, dishes not fully done but OK.

I finished Sayers A Cloud of Witnesses.  Enjoyed it.  Not the strongest ending but much just before the ending was quite good.

Dinner tonight 

Simple salad mix.

(my ice cream)

(Husband's ice cream; I realized I should just give him the container as our goal was to finish it tonight!)

And so we come to the very Eve of Great Lent 2026. 

I am so thankful that I am so much better than before.  My cough is pretty much gone.  I have to be patient about the ankle healing.  There is so much to thank the Lord for!

May God have mercy on us!
