April was quite a month. That first week the gentleman I was caring for was not feeling well and not getting better. So the decision was made that he needed to go into the hospital and be checked out the doctor decided that he needed to stay and run some tests to see what was going on.
The next week his daughter came to be with him. I was at the farm and 20 miles from town all by myself. Tuesday came it started to snow and the wind blew up to 50 miles an hour or more! So what was I to do, I couldn’t go anywhere nothing much to do at the house. I got out my quilt I had been working on and begin putting the pieces together for the backing. It snowed like that for a 3 days! The wind was blowing the snow so hard I could hardly even see out the windows most the time. So I was thankful for being able to work on that quilt to distract me.
When the winds and the snow finally stopped I tried to get out and take a walk to see how things were, I didn’t get very far, the snow had piled up on the front porch couldn’t get the door open and the back door I could only get a few feet from the house!
After his son came with the tractor and plowed out a path to the road I was able to get into town. And then a few days later the son and I went to see the gentleman in the hospital. That evening after we had left the hospital the daughter called and said he passed away. He had lived a long life and he was ready to rest till Jesus comes.
Then that weekend it snowed again this time not as much but it was cold and windy.
An April that will not be forgotten very soon!
Oh where is that Star?
