Looking Back at Winter

We have enjoyed a week of Spring weather with temperatures in the 60's and one day it reached 70. It doesn't seem possible that a month ago we had nearly 20" of snow and the lake was frozen. This series of pictures shows some of the winter scenes that we enjoyed. The first picture is taken from the back of our house looking down at the lake. Our pontoon boat is suspended from the covered slip. The lake is lowered during the winter months to prevent the ice from damaging the docks and to give people an opportunity to work on their docks or to build new ones. It is nice when one is on the inside looking out, but a little less enjoyable when one has to get out and plow the driveway. However, there is always hope for those of us living in the northern states based on God's promise in Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and that day and night shall not cease."
