Snow!

It's May first, so we get a snow storm!!

How cool is that!?! Most other places people are planting their gardens, mowing their grass, enjoying the nice weather, but we get a snow storm.  I think it's pretty cool! We really need the moisture here.  And I'm not really into gardening because you usually can't plant until June, and you are really lucky if your garden lasts until late August or early September!  I always thought that was normal, until I talked to people who didn't live here, where crazy unpredictable weather is the norm, but I guess a lot of places you can plant as early as April, and sometimes even March!!  That is crazy! They must actually be able to harvest stuff out of their gardens!

Betty, The Squirrel

This is Betty, she is Alvin's mate.

We caught her this afternoon.

Squirrels sure are easy to catch around here!

She was much much more nervous than Alvin, I didn't know that a squirrel could be more nervous than Alvin!

We didn't keep her that long.  She might have babies to take care of!

Alvin, The Squirrel

This here squirrel has been terrorizing our bird feeder for a while now.

So we decided to make him our pet for a little while.

And then we are going to bring him to another place,

where he can terrorize all the bird feeders we wants to!

Happy Israel Independence Day!!!


"I have set watchmen on your walls.
O Jerusalem;
They shall never hold their peace day or night.
You who make mention of HaShem, do not keep silent,
And give Him no rest till He establishes
And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth."

Isiah 62:6-7

"For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace,
And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest.
Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
And her salvation as a lamp that burns"

Isiah 62:1

May we always remember Jerusalem as we walk along the way, when we rise up, and when we lie down.
May our fire never burn down, but let us continually make mention of  her to all peoples.
