Softly Falling

Today the softly falling snow made our home feel extra cozy. I love days like these where time seems to slow and everything becomes hushed.

Throughout the day I often pause at the window to watch the flakes swirl to the ground, mesmerized by their magic. 

As the weather becomes colder, the trips to the chicken coop become more frequent. Putting on my Winter things and trudging out through the snow is the perfect break in my afternoon. All of the crosses have started laying and I am loving the dark browns, blues and olive colored eggs we are getting.
 

The reality of Winter also means that my back entryway looks like this 99% of the time. I am grateful for infloor heating in this room. Everyone just lays out their gear on the tile and it dries relatively quickly.

On the way back in from chores late in the evening, the house was dark, except for the outside light to show the way. I felt grateful for a warm home filled with those I love.
