Last night I was out VERY late at a ladies study (which was a real blessing) and as I drove home on Circle Drive I was pretty much alone on the roads. It was very snowy, big fluffy slow snowflakes where falling. The sky was an amazingly warm red color in the middle of the night. The city seemed SO QUIET and STILL... it was so lovely to be embraced by such a dense quiet.This morning I woke up before the kids! With a yawn I wrapped my favorite wrap around my shoulders and pulled open the curtains to see a beautifully Christmas-y world blanketed in thick snow! The frost on my window was a piece of art and the quiet I had enjoyed the night before had carried over to the morning. I sat alone and just listened to and breathed in the silence...
After a bit I turned on the Christmas lights, for the house stays dark till almost noon lately! I got wiggly and ended up rushing around fussing with my house, for it feels like Christmas is really coming after all!SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
With my last blog I totally missed the special 100th post and the 200th and so on and so forth, but this time I have been watching the number count up to 100 and I want to celebrate cuz I like celebrations so I shall do a give away as many others have.I noticed blog surfing is down this time of year so your odds of winning might be pretty high. I have a little something Christmas-y in honor of the time of year this 100th post arrived and if you comment on this post I will draw from those names and send it on to the winner.

I love your descriptive writing! Reading as you retell of the silence and stillness, and the romance of a white world out your window transports me there with you for a moment, out of my dirty kitchen. Thank you!
Oooh prizes! I'm glad you have been writing about Christmas lately because I just haven't been able to find the words for some reason! Beautiful.
I love the feeling of the quiet snow brings, especially when it is quiet in the house. Have a great Christmas and a great time with family.
Comment:-) Lol! Congrats on the 100th post Becky!!! At this rate, I'll get there in about a zillion years;-)
Love that winter time cozy feeling (especially when you are inside and warm and enjoying the view)!
