We had about 6 inches of snow last night, on top of what was here. A picture is above. Made getting to church a bit tricky, but all went well. There are several rather serious accidents in town from not-so-careful-drivers, as well as some "ditch-divers" as they call them on the TV news. Despite that, I went to a concert this afternoon of bagpipe solos. There were over 100 people there!!! The pipers were pretty surprised, to say the least! Interesting music - not the typical marches, but 10-15 minute pieces for each soloist. (By the way, shoveling snow is good exercise! I looked pretty cute in my snowsuit - well, I might have!)
I must say that the music and the people in the church I am part of here are just amazing. The music is absolutely gorgeous - organ, piano, choir, all of it. The pieces selected are so beautiful, and they way they are played and sung is exquisite. It is very moving. The people at St. John's are so kind and caring I am continually amazed and comforted. Oh, when I left church, after donating 3 bags from my housemate for a family burned out of their home the other day, an eagle, my first this entire stay, landed in a tree for me to watch for a while. Here he is:
Today was one of those days where I just want to be here forever.
