I Just Love Ennis

We enjoyed a little sunshine in Ennis today after several days of dark cloudy skies.  Without the wind it felt warmer than the high twenties.  Earlier in the week we received three or four inches of snow.  A light dusting of snow fell during the night but the weather man says we are not expecting much more for a couple of days.

On my way home just now I got caught in a traffic jam. A mother doe and her two fawns fearlessly crossed in front of my car.  Fortunately I was on a plowed street providing enough traction to stop easily.

I was thinking to myself how much I love living in this sweet small town having just witnessed a rare moment at the grocery store.   An older woman was walking very slowly on the icy parking lot when a cowboy got out of his pickup, took her by the arm and escorted her into the store.

Upon leaving the store I was awe struck by the beauty of the sun setting leaving a rare mixture of grey and pink over the snow capped mountains.  Then I was greeted by the deer a block from my house.  I am truly blessed.

  1. Life in the small towns, is different of life in the big cities, because humanity is always present. In great cities we do not care much for the other, because do not know them.

  2. Tomas, I am sure similar experiences happen in big cities. However, I suspect fear prevents most people from getting to know their neighbors.
