Roland stood with knitted brows considering.
'Who makes the winter?' he asked. 'Does the devil? Because God only makes beautiful things, doesn't He?'
Old Bob raised his hat, and looked up into the grey autumnal sky with a smile.

'Nay, little master, the devil wouldn't have wished to give us such a lesson as winter teaches us. 'Tis God Almighty in His love that gives us winter, to try our faith and patience, and teach us hope's lessons. If we had no winter, we should have no Easter, and 'tis well worth the waitin' for!'

Yes, patience is necessary this time of the year — but the days are getting longer, which makes the winter bearable. Today the sun was up between 8:34 and 16:01.
I don't know when I'll be back here, my mother has some health issues that need to be taken care of. hopefully it won't take too long.

Best wishes to your mother...and also to you!
SvaraRaderaHow are things going? Hope all is well.
SvaraRaderaBarbara and Jodi,
SvaraRaderaThank you for asking - my mother has seen a specialist, and what first seemed like cancer isn't. She'll need a minor surgery, that's all.
A surgery is also what my computer needs! Got a virus a week ago - the virus is gone, but it did hurt the computer, so right now I'm trying to fix that.
