The Windswept Prairie

The wind has been howling, which is not unusual for eastern Montana.  It has been snowing, but the wind has been blowing it all away. I was worried about Kathryn being blown off the icy road on her way to work in Miles City.  She drives a real little car.  She called when she got into town. I was much relieved.   I worry.  I think that must be how it is when you love someone. I nearly got blown off into the ditch a couple of times in my big ol' Chevy pickup on my way in a couple of hours later.  Gives one a greater appreciation of the phrase "wind swept prairie."

It could be worse. I got an e-mail from my friends Don and Marit Denham. They are missionaries to Kosova.  You may knbow it as  Kosovo, but  the correct pronunciation, according to the locals, is Kosova.  Anyway... They were in the US for a few weeks, and got held up in Albania on the way back. They are snowed in.

See their website liftkosova.org  They are lovely people, who are ministering in a largely Moslem country. They are doing good, and making headway. They are feeding people, and doing good for The Lord.   Pray for them. I do.

When the wind blows, it blows a lot of the snow away. It is so cold that the snow doesn't adhere to itself very well, so we have lots of powder. Pretty good for skiing, but it's pretty hard to ski on this more or less flat country. I guess I could do some cross country skiing, but there's not much cross country on five acres.

The wind has swept much of the snow cover off the parking lot, and blew it east.  I like to think of it as a gift to my sister Judy, niece Debbie, my ham buddy Paul, and other friends in Missouri. -evil grin-

I got the new Startrek movie on DVD yesterday. Thanks, William.  Went to play it, and can't seem to make the DVD player work.  Must be a bad connection somewhere.  Arrgh!

Oh, well. Such is life on Fringe Benefit Farm.
