A Hush is Falling Outside

It is snowing again, and I just went out to shovel a little and let Lucy run. I was struck by the hush. the quiet, that happens when snow falls and muffles the usual sounds. A car went by, its tires barely making a noise. A distant churchbell chimed 1:00, a cheerful sound in the stillness. Lucy ran very fast around the yard, enjoying the snow once again.

Here's our back gate, with the snow decorating it for winter again....
A littel bird feeder with angels that are praying, but they look today like they are trying to keep warm...

A log cabin that is really a birdhouse, with a dollop of snow frosting covering its roof...

Maya is napping, so I think I will go inside and make a cup of tea, read a book, or perhaps take a little nap myself, as a 21-month old has lots of energy for me to keep up with when she wakes up. But I just had to share a little bit of winter returned, as we knew it would since it is only January, and as it should be.

I always love that quiet that comes over the world when it snows! We're overdue to have some again. Hope you had a nice afternoon and enjoyed the warmth of your home!

Your angels DO look like they're trying to keep warm! And your fence looks soooo ethereal.

Still smiling over that pic of Maya and the "pretty". :-)

That gate looks beautiful with the snow covering it. We've had some rain here, I wish it were snow! If it's going to be cold out, it may as well be beautiful snow I think!
