Winter

After Christmas we took advantage of our proximity and spent most of our after Christmas time with family. While we were away, Edgewood got hammered with snow. Our driveway was a foot deep! after getting stuck and unstuck, we parked the car at the end of the driveway and trudged into the house.

The next day Katie and I hand shovelled the whole driveway. It felt good to be out working together.

The kids enjoyed the piles we were making

I learned recently that fresh snow absorbs sound, lowering ambient noise over a landscape because the trapped air between snowflakes attenuates vibration. It is why you enjoy so much silence in the snow. Despite the hard work, the morning was peaceful.
