Before church on Sunday morning - November 9

The trees were covered with frost this morning and with the sun shining on them they were a beautiful sight.

These deer were there at 10:00 in the morning as we headed to Valentine to go to church at the Assembly of God. Is he magnificent or what!?!-----right next to the road - proud as can be! As we came home at 1:00 in the afternoon.....HE WAS STILL THERE!! same place!

This herd of mule deer were still in South Dakota (the top photo was in NE)..bedded down on the east side of the road......it looks like they are permanent fixtures for the day also.

These beautiful pheasants must have kept warm overnight on the haybales. And now were enjoying the sunshine.





The roads are a story in themselves..... You do NOT want to meet anyone in these areas ---- unless you've got your backup skills down pat!!




This is just west of us ......




We want to share some photos of our Sunday morning. We took time out early in the morning to witness some of God's beautiful creation and some of the winter "wonderland" - which can come in all shapes and forms. Some good some not so "good"....but awesome nun-the-less. We also saw flocks!!! of grouse and lots of jack rabbits.
We did not have church in Lakeview because of the bad roads and also because the pastor who was scheduled to come out (and I am not sure how far he had to travel but many come from the east side of the state) is in his 80's and the elders of Lakeview decided it wasn't wise for him to be traveling on these roads.
We hope you enjoy ........
Gary and Barb
