Wordless Wednesday - More Than Corn

So I'm doing a flashback to my "More Than Corn" theme because it seemed way to appropriate today. There is more than corn in Indiana - there's snow... and lots of it!

Wordless Wednesday - 2000

Here is what it looked like this month eight years ago. This is our lot as we were clearing to build the house. More snow came as the day went on.

Sideways Snow

So, here I am, posting from the land of sideways snow. Yep, I looked out the window and the snow is flying horizontally across the sky! It's kind of weird looking. It doesn't seem to be sticking anywhere except to the side view mirrors of the cars - nowhere else, just the mirrors. From a distance it looks like someone has painted all the mirrors white as some kind of odd prank. If the snow were falling , oh, I don't know, down it would be normal - even pretty. The sideways stuff just makes me feel a little puzzled and out of balance. I want to turn my head so the snow will be going the right direction.

It's kind of how my life feels right now - a little sideways. Not bad, nothing in particular wrong, just somehow a little off. It's like I keep turning my head trying to get a more normal perspective or the comfort of the familiar and it just doesn't work. Even what should be familiar and routine just feels a little sideways.

I wish I had some great wisdom to impart to wrap this up but I just don't. I'm just going to assume that just as the snow may fall straight down on another day, that at some point things will realign themselves and again appear to be in balance.

Winter Wonderland

************************************************ Wow! Winter has arrived. The snow is flying. I love it!

I love looking out the back of our house into the woods at all the snow covered trees. It creates such a quiet and peaceful scene, especially early in the morning.

I think I like it so much because "quiet and peaceful" are so far from my normal life. But, if I can make myself stand still for just a few minutes, the peace will cover me like the blanket of snow is covering the ground.

In the hecticness of the Christmas season the snow slows us all down one way or another. For me, in addition to slowing my vehicle, it causes me to take a deep breath and remember the peace that the season is really about. The flakes float down and land on my ears like whispers from Heaven saying "peace, be still" and " I bring good news of great joy". ************************************************
