6" of snow yesterday

We got a couple inches, which came after I don't know how much rain. Everything was so pretty this am, with the sun shining through fog, making the icicles on everything just glisten. I wished I had the day off to go take pictures. I did take a couple from work but I don't know yet how they'll turn out.

No, they are at a nursing home not real far from me.

There were 3 alpaca's there, 2 of them kept coming up to the fence expecting something to eat. 2 of the deer did too. They had 3 alpaca's, 3 deer, 2 probably emus, a bunch of turkey and a sheep. The sheep was taking a nap and wouldn't get up so I didn't really get a good picture of it.

They are indeed very nice pics, its nice that the folks there have something like this to loook forward to each day.

 

[ctay]

Yes they do

 

[LutheranChick]

Wow, a nursing home with an animal farm! Ours just has little birds... they don't take up so much room!

 

[Jim47]

Yes they do

Maybe I could reserve a room?

I've been a member of the Lutheran church all my life, I just switched churches, some stuff happened at the other church I was going to and there were a few things they were doing I didn't believe in. Guess I'm just an old fuddyduddy Lutheran.

Then, welcome to the club. Been there, done that.

There were birds in trees does that count??

 

[River of Zion]

I didn't know nursing homes did things like that. What an incentive to keep the cats and dogs out of the establishment.

It is wonderful though.

Yup.

Its the only one I know around here that has the animals.

I know a lady that would take her horse to the nursing homes and whoever could go out, they would take them out to see the horse.

I was listening to the Daily Audio Bible on my way in to work today, and the Old Testament reading was from Numbers 7, the dedication of the tabernacle. I had read it before, of course, but hearing the list of gifts over and over again was rather hypnotic (all twelve tribes give the same thing, each on a successive day, so by the end there were 12 bowls and 12 bulls and 12 plates and 12... well, you get the idea).

I found myself starting to say "And a partridge in a pear tree" by the time we got to Gamaliel on the eighth day.

54 On the eighth day Gamaliel son of Pedahzur, the leader of the people of Manasseh, brought his offering.

55 His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with the finest flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering; 56 one gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; 57 one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old for a burnt offering; 58 one male goat for a sin offering; 59 and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.
