Up here on the mountain it is so very cold this Tuesday morning, with light snow falling so beautifully and coating everything it comes in contact with.Possibly the same two deer back up in the field behind A.J. and Brenda Neal’s place today with a blanket of snow on their backs and the same with Randy and Gail Neal’s horses that are eating at the round bales of hay that were put out for them. So quiet and tranquil, and also such a beautiful sight for all of us that live here on Short Mountain. A paradise we treasure each day and thank the Lord for his mighty presence in our lives.Yesterday morning the wind around here was supposed to be blowing pretty briskly at 45 mph.
