Just about time for my annual re-watch of this movie.  I disagree that you can take or leave the songs …. that’s the best part.

An Angel Appeared

Yes, an angel appeared in our front yard.

Thanks to a great sale at our local K-Mart, we snagged the angel at half-price, along with some LED net lighting which we will install later this week over our bushes.

Sadly, it got up to nearly 60 degrees here in Kansas today, so the snow we had this past weekend melted completely.  At least I managed to burn most of the wood that had been languishing in our wood pile during our extreme cold spell last week.
