Snapshots and excited Facebook posts from far-flung friends remind me that in many parts of the country early winter has made her presence known. There will be plenty of time for complaining about interminable grey days and icy weather later in the season…Right now it’s all about when will we wake up to lovely soft white landscapes and that special blessing the silence of a snow fall brings.
Some believe that silence is one of the most essential gifts of the winter season — a time to walk in the quiet of a snowfall or sit with a hot cup of tea and reflect on the important things, or perhaps very little things that we almost missed in the rush of warmer weather activity.
