Sounds of Silence

This morning it is snowing...beautiful, big, heavy snowflakes blowing lightly in the wind. I'm wrapped up in a blanket with a big mug of coffee just watching the flakes fall. The house is still quiet, and I can feel myself relaxing and enjoying the stillness. I'm sure later on in the day I will be faced with mountains of laundry from where they go outside and drag in wet clothes, but for now...Silence.

I cannot think of many things that are more calming and beautiful. It is going to be a good day.

EDIT: This is my 11 year old son, Kyle, from start to finish! I can't believe he was able to muster enough snow for such a big snowball!
