The snow seems to make the world quieter but also the fact that less cars are starting to drive off for work. It had snowed during the night and quiet neighbors shoveled off our sidewalk and a path to our door. There was about 2 inches and the trees look beautiful with white frost on their branches.
We had a quiet New Years Eve sleeping quietly, not even hearing cars honking or horns blowing.
Yester day we drove from our snowy part of the world to Tssawassen to enjoy some delicious soup with Carol and Panteli.
What a different world the fields are brown not white. It is still very cold. I went with Carol to pick up Kim from the ferry she had been visiting friends in Victoria to celebrate New Years. As people came streaming off the ferry and went out the door they all reacted to the blast of the cold air.

This is Haiti sitting so close to Kim so happy to have her home again.
She did not even want to go for a walk with Panteli. Partly because of the cold.
Dad and I are going to try to change to a more healthy diet by adding some good fresh vegetables and fruit. We really do need to go shopping. The store might be very busy today.
Another reason our Sunday had been quiet was that church had been cancelled. It would be too dangerous for people to attempt the ice and snow. Missed the uplift from the music and the message.
I was reminded that life challenges us to put aside our own pain and listen and comfort those around us whose lives have been touched by tragedy.
Faith in the quiet healing presence of Jesus is what we all need.
Faith takes us into a deeper place in our heart and soul beyond reasoning.

Quiet...yes snow does seem to "muffle" the sounds. It is very quiet here too, with few vehicles on the roads around here. I think everyone is hibernating!
Nice picture of Haiti sitting with Kim. The bond between a dog and its owner is so strong.
I bet the fare for even a foot passenger on the ferry is a lot these days.
I guess the snow has melted quite a bit if the fields are back to brown. But I heard the arctic outflow we are experiencing will also be felt in Vancouver and area. It is going to be pretty cold over the next 10 days or so....no forecast past then. But it is January and it will be cold.
We had another snowstorm..rather Winnipeg and south had a snowstorm that has closed highways once again. We just had an inch or two of snow. But it is blowing snow and cold here. So we are staying home. Carl had an appointment with a doctor and we had an appointment for the car. Both are cancelled once again.
Carl has diverticulits. I am not sure what Larry's problem is, but Carl has bran buds and flax seeds with his morning cereal and I buy him prunes. It really has helped him. He is not a veggie eater but likes fruit...so he is feeling a lot better.
Have a great day today,
Love, Nancy
Happy New Year. We are lucky here being close to the water the small amount of snow we have had has melted and we were able to go for a sun drenched walk along the sea wall .Hopefully we will be able to do it again today.We will be going to sing along this morning which is always lifting of the spirit.Good wishes to all. love ,Jane.
