In the quiet of the morning I stood in the gallery in the presence of celestial beings in vestments carefully woven each in their own way so as to cloth them for the arrival of the new day. There was no music save the thunderous quite of the coming day.

Isn't it holy to stand in the presence of the Creation knowing that we are an integral part separate from absolutely nothing. It made me full within.  --- Ken W. Hall

The above images and words are from Ken.  He is enjoying the journey through years of photographs.  No, that is not what things look like today.  

The six inches of snow is slowly melting.  Temperatures have been lower than normal.  One morning it was twelve degrees.  This morning it was twenty.  The high has been in the low thirties.  Looks like it will get even colder as an unexpected cold sets in from Canada.

 

I am busy in my studio creating pieces for the holidays.  I just posted some new ones in my online shop.

 

Snow is Falling

The snow has been falling since before sunrise this morning.  The bird feeder is serving up meals to an unusual number of birds. 

The children across the street are playing in the snow.  Snow balls are flying and decks are being shoveled. Snow angels are being born.

The temperature remains at twenty-eight degrees.  It has been a lovely morning watching the snow fall before heading off to work.

I love it when the wind is silent and the snow falls gently and steadily.  It gives me such a peaceful feeling.

Time to go get the snow shovel and get ready to head out.

Is It Really November?

Is it really November?  Time seems to be passing quickly.  Hunting season opened along with a new meat market.  I think I heard their first game to process for the season was a moose.  I noticed elk in the back of some pickups as well.  The warmer weather seems to make it harder on the hunters.

This morning it was twenty degrees and thirty-two when I went out to run errands at 11:00 AM.  As you can tell from this photo taken from Jeffers it is also cloudy today.

The wind has been blowing strong for several days but today it is just breezy.  The weather is expected to be like this until Friday when a winter storm is predicted with snow and high temperatures in the twenties.
