Waking up to Silence

I woke up this morning and didn't hear rain. So nice, no rain...the reason I didn't hear rain, was that it was silently snowing.  It snowed all day, then in the early evening, snow changed to rain.  So what tomorrow will bring is a mystery. 

What I do know is that the snow today was beautiful,   Full flakes that held on to whatever it could.  The dogs loved their early morning walk when it was still lightly snowing so thankfully no feet and armpits full of stuck on snow balls.  They just loved to catch the snowflakes and jump up into the air like young puppies.  It didn't matter to them how cold or wet they got, they didn't worry about it when it was time for fun.  When they got home, they got to shake off that snow and find a warm place to rest for the day!

It's funny, the soft sound of winter rains when you wake up was replaced this morning by silence.  Today the  silence...turned out to be the gentle falling of beautiful snow!

I woke up to silence, but tonight I get to fall asleep once again to the gentle sound of rain and enjoy the cool, moist air as it flows in the open window.  We will all (humans and dogs) enjoy snuggling under the covers and periodically bravely sticking a foot or paw out to test the temperature and then decide where to snuggle next...Oh, the joys of winter!
