Snowglobe Mornings

This morning I woke to 5" of fresh, heavy, wet, spring, snow and the anticipation of 8 more inches by dinner time. My friend Jill wrote this morning; "March, you are such a tease." Yesterday we were in capris with 70 degree weather, today we dive in our closets for our favorite sweatshirts and comfy jeans.

It was a morning of the quietness of falling snow and what I desired most was to be at home, in my own quiet 'snow globe' of a home. Watching it snow while I got the chance to stop life and just watch peace fall. Life has been so busy lately and I yearn for the time to be still.

However, today was filled with the usual parts of life. Grocery store runs, designated driver for a school field trip, swing by a garage sale, prep for dinner. All in all, my quietness came at the end. When the kids went to bed and I finally put my feet up to rest. As i turned my head to look out the patio door, the snow was still falling. It's so wonderfully restoring to sit and be still in a snow globe!
