The Rain has Started....

The winter rainstorm is part of living in the Northwest. Luckily last week we had some beautiful days. And besides Kerry does not like the snow. I do. Snow has such a clean look to it. Everything is white and it deadens the sound. It is like being in a different world that is peaceful and quiet. I remember in Montana when we had a snowstorm where we could not even get out of our driveway. We all had to walk to church and the snow was deep. Albert was about 4 and he came with me to church. The snow was up to the top of his thighs. I had to carry him most of the way but we made it to and from church. The church was about three quarters of a mile away and so the distance wasn't too bad...maybe 6 to 7 blocks. Then we shoveled a great big pile of snow that was up to the 2nd story porch when the drifting started...
