There were multiple accidents because of the low visibility. Roofs torn off houses. Trees downed. The trails and sidewalks this morning were strewn with broken limbs and branches. I managed to time my morning walk between the wind /rain and the snow; the only time today when it was actually possible to get out and enjoy myself.
Then the rain came. Mixing with the dust on the way down. It's really strange when it rains mud. Which it did. Then it got cold. 29 degrees this morning about 8:30. And now it's snowing. Really. Since about nine this morning we've accumulated several inches on the grass.
I'm wondering how my peonies will fare.

Snow at 9 a.m. |
I'm loving the quiet that descends along with the snow. I tend to thrive more without a lot of bustle and commotion.
Today I'm so grateful for safety from the winds and a home without interruption of power. For wool sweaters and snuggly socks. For those who text me. For the much needed moisture. For something to look forward to in the next few days.
How blessed we are to live in this world.
