It is 4:39 pm. Google says the temperature is 38 outside. I step out of my room to get a glass of water and peer out the kitchen window again. It's all still there: the Payette river has turned a darker color from the turquoise it was earlier. The mountains are still there, their peaks enshrouded in the fog and clouds hovering over the whole valley. The trickles of white snow on top are just the beginning for the winter.
Now tiny flakes of snow are dancing madly through the air as the wind whips around the valley and the herd of elk that used to be chilling in the large field behind my house are now grazing down by the river. Mountains, rivers, snow, fog, elk. Heaven.
Yes, friends, life has changed for me. I live in the mountains now. As excited as I am about that fact, I will need your prayers for the winter that is coming!!
The light is fading now. I set up my room as much as possible. There were nails already in two walls and I was so glad I brought two of my paintings. Two of my sarongs are serving as curtains for now. The mountains out my window are farther away, but still gorgeous. I just turned on the mattress cover heater that my dad got me (spoiled ;) ). And I'm already thinking: I can't wait until I wake up in the morning and get to see the views again!!!
Here I am. How long will I be here? Will I survive the winter? We will see. ;)
