And now, the recap of the week. None other than our very own weather guy, Gerry Davis rolled into Goshen just after last Sabbath. He didn't get to see much that evening, but the next morning, even with an overcast sky, it was only hoodie weather. The fellowship was a delightful blessing and his photos are good, as always.
Monday the Goshen Gazette rolled off the presses with temperatures a bit cooler but still well above freezing. Daddy called Tuesday morning to tell me about his deer and make plans. Interestingly, I was enjoying weather in the low fifties, but the temperatures in his area were forecasted to range between upper 20s and low 40s. Perfect weather for aging venison. We made arrangements for Friday and although windy, the temperature couldn't have been better. The meat was still cold, but my hands remained warm with the outdoor temp around 60. That was the most pleasant and efficient processing, I can remember. Usually we have to take breaks just to warm our hands. This was no small white tail!
By the time the phone rang regarding my daughter's ETA, the venison was in the freezer and the kitchen was back to "normal." We had to protect little ears from the wind, but the temperature was perfect for enjoying the evening outdoors.
The sunset leading into Shabbat was glorious.
In the midst of all this wonderful weather and great outdoors, I was blessed to speak the Aharonic blessing over this precious little girl!
What a blessing it is to personally know the Master of the wind.
