The aftermath of this last mid January blizzard left bigger drifts!
The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!
Oh, Oh! After this last blizzard, it's going to be awhilebefore eating outside is possible!
The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!
Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!
And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

Ashley

Pray that my parents Glenda (mostly her, I think) and Alan forgive me and don’t throw me out. I made a mistake, it was small compared to other things I done, but it was still very bad in my mum’s eyes, I think it is because my dad is sick. I hope my physio gets cancelled tomorrow by people working there, as dad is sick. I am on very thin wire. My mum says I treat her badly every day, that is not true, at least I think that. My mum has a worse temper than mine, in my opinion. I worry about being homeless or worse or even dead. My dad has been sick for a while and only got worse yesterday. Help me do a lot better as a person, as I worry about doing the smallest things wrong can cause me to be kicked out. My mum has mental health issues. I hope my period doesn’t come in quite a while as when I have it or just before it is usually when I do the dumbest things and limited control of my behavior and don’t want to be kicked out because of them. I worry what I’ll do wrong next, it’s scary.
