Watch the snow come…
Watch it swallow the blue hills…
Watch it erase the horizon, snuff the sound of the day in silence:
Watch me fill the silence with song. ❤

Me too!! It’s just about the only time the outdoors feel so quiet. Grateful. 🙂
Are you in a place with snow?

Yes. We love in Bend, Oregon. It is the center of the state, high desert…not like the rainy coast people usually think of for Oregon. We have had two feet or more this year.

Ah, beautiful. Believe it or not, I’ve never made it out to the PNW, although I so much want to do so.
Enjoy that snow, & the quiet cozy days it invites. 🙂

It really is beautiful and there is something so nice about being forced to slow down and take it all in!

Absolutely!! We all need a little silence now and again. I live for the summer, but there truly is tremendous beauty to be found in this white season. 🙂

Beautiful! Isn’t it interesting how deafeningly loud the silence can become when we stop to listen to its harmony? At least, it feels that way to me sometimes. I think that’s part of the reason that I find it so difficult to be still and quiet. Am I afraid of what I will find there?
Hope you are managing to dig yourselves out from under the snow. ❤️

So much truth here. Silence scared a great many of us, I suspect, but there’s important work for our souls to do in it. 🙂
We spent the weekend hosting friends who found themselves snowed in with us. So much fun! Today, though, I’m winding down a bit and enjoying the quiet.
We got around two feet of the white stuff! What about you? 🙂

Not a flake here! The storm passed south of me as it moved to the east. Yesterday, the skies were bright and sunny (and cold). I followed through on your suggestion and snapped a few photographs. I was wondering if you would mind if I mentioned it in my next blog post and gave you credit with a link to your website. It’s ok if you prefer that I didn’t, but I found that taking the pictures uplifted my spirit, and I wanted to share my gratitude.

Of course. Your walks in the wood will be stifled in snow. (Whereabouts are you? Northeast, somewhere, right?)
Careful that the wolves might come down howling. 😉

I’m solidly in Appalachia … Roanoke, Virginia. Far from home, and also not so far.
We get our fair share of the flakes. 🙂

Virginia, eh? Never been there. But I imagine the scenery to be quite gorgeous. Enjoy the “flakes”.

And you’re right, snow has its own brand of silence. Very peaceful.
I remember the cracking of the boots in the snow, escalading (climbing?) a mountain somewhere in the past.

Dave, as a good Brit, has a deadly sense of humour. We were all a great team, both at work and in the mountain. Friends for life. 🙂

Indeed we could. It is a thing to remember every day, no matter what. I was glad last year to see that Dave had kept his sense of humour intact. 🙂
