Snow is a natural sound absorber and I'll forever treasure those moments of childhood when everything went quiet and life stopped. I always felt really close to God....it was like I could hear Him better. Nothing got in the way.

And the sound!!!! Oh, the sound. The quiet. It's always an amazing God-moment for me. I miss it.

I can appreciate this. We're not there yet, though. That will come in January... when we usually get most of our snow. Right now, it's just wet and cold. Still just as noisy.

But thanks for the reminder. Those snowy evenings when everything is quiet because nobody in their right mind is out in it... very nice.

The quietness is amazing. That is when I love to walk outside in it... looking up into the sky and watching it softly fall... yep, pretty cool.

However... it isn't so nice when things start moving and everything starts to turn to brown mush on the road and I am expected to be at work and I am stuck in the drive way.

oh, and almost forgot... it was snow flurrying here for a while this afternoon.

We've had snow multiple times already this year. I don't mind it as long as I don't have to drive in it.
