Today, It snowed

Jan. 9, 2007 - Today, it snowed!
Finally, after 70 degree weather last week (which we enjoyed very much while having friends visit), it got cold over the past 36 hours and snowed.
BIG BEAUTIFUL FLAKES!!!!
Fluffy and pure white ... and as long as you didn't look at the ground, one could imagine being snowed in for days! AJ and I huddled under his blanket, opened the giant window in his room and listend to the silence. I love the sound of rain beating against the window ... or better yet, a tin roof. But there is no silence that is so utterly peaceful as the silence created in the midst of a hard snow. I'm sure there is some scientific reason for this, but I'll continue to believe that snow is one of God's best creations and everything that is has to stop and honor it while it is falling (at least until there's enough for a snowman ... which did not happen today).
