February 2022

We got more snow and it took Troy a long time to get the driveway dug out enough for us to get out. The snow really drifts where our neighbor removed all trees that had been a windbreak.

Our neighbor's lost their barn in a fire

Ann and Troy went to Springfield, Missouri and picked up Jerry's ashes & death certificate

We celebrated Troy's birthday and enjoyed some cake.

Troy went over to Osceola to check on his mom. As he was getting ready to go he had an impression to bring is mud boots so he put them in the trunk. When he got to Osceola he heard water running in his mom's house. He opened the basement door and there was water standing at the bottom of the stairs. His boots were tall enough to allow him to get the water shut-off without getting his feet wet. He was able to get the water drained out of the basement. Even though it was a holiday the plumber came over and fixed his fitting that had failed.

We had an ice storm and it left some pretty formations in the berry patch.

Ann repotted her violet with violet potting soil and it was very happy. We have not seen this many flowers at once for a while.

Ann received this lovely handmade card from her friend Jennifer.

On the last day of the month Elizabeth witnessed a roll-over accident in our yard and we caught some of it on our security cameras. The driver was ejected from the vehicle but thankfully not seriously injured. He was apparently under the influence and was taken away in handcuffs.

We were blessed some more beautiful sunsets
