If you are wondering where your journal inserts are I can tell you now - inside this computer where they have been locked for a few days now due to the Colorado Storm of '06! We have been OUTside of here in the RV with the Ranchhands for the duration. The power went out early Thurs am and didn't return until late last night. Fortunately we all got to sleep inside the house last night. (thank you for your prayers!!)
We are catching up and mopping up snow puddles and so on this morning. I hope to be back on track with uploads shortly. Meantime you can check out what happens when a prairie snow is coupled with 
gale force winds. The boys are standing on an icy drift that is literally as high as the fence posts. And the other pic is the INside of the barn door. The snow pushed through every crack and space in the exterior walls and doors.
Kim, so glad to hear you are back in the house---what an adventure! It reminds me of the blizzard of '78 when my parents, us six kids, Uncle Bobby, and a kerosene heater all lived in a tiny bedroom for 3 days. We kids thought it was great fun, but I'm sure my parents thought otherwise......Stay warm!

How incredibly beautiful!!! It is amazing to see all that snow. We happen to be in the middle of a furiously windy rainstorm here.

That is impressive! I am glad to hear you are all fine. I hope your livestock weathered it OK as well.

Heavens! I didn't realize it was due to a snowstorm...I thought it was a thunderstorm!
I'm so glad that things are back to normal...praying you all stay warm, dry and well-lit. {{hugs}} Dani
