Three Simple Pleasures: Poinsettia, Chutney, Healing

1. The poinsettia that almost died over the summer in the greenhouse has not only revived itself, but the leaves are again turning white.

2. We had another of those wonderful frozen in a bag, put in the crockpot and cook turkey breasts today. I enjoyed it even more with the last of my sister's home canned apple chutney. I love that chutney.

3. JEJ's finger is healing nicely after his mishap with the wood splitter last Monday.  I got my first look at the injury today and am amazed he has never had any pain. When that group of men circled and prayed for him as he left for the hospital, that was all it took! God is good.

Afternoon Walk Along Sherman Creek

Today we took a brisk walk along Sherman Creek along Highway 20. We explored the newer trail from the Log Flume which led us along the creek.

The snow still remains from a few weeks ago.

The dogs loved the cold air.

I loved the way the afternoon light reflected on the snow.

I also found simple beauty on the remains on a branch.

You know it is cold when Sherman Creek is already frozen at the bridge on the Inchelium Highway.
