Finally, the snow is here.
I don’t know if it will stay for a while or melt away as quickly as it arrived, but for now — it’s here. And I love it.
The world feels quieter under snow. Softer. The yard, the house, the road — all of it suddenly feels a little more gentle, a little more tidy.
Today is about standing still for a moment, looking out the window, and letting myself enjoy this small gift of winter. And the beautiful sunset 🙂

Lovely. Calm and beautiful. xx
I agree, snow covering most things up does make the world seem less chaotic, Illze. Enjoy, and best wishes for you and your ❤️family in 2026.
Thank you, John! How was your hike!?
You are welcome Illze, and I still haven’t gone on the hike – I forgot that this is the week between Christmas and New Years so the place was jammed full of people. I don’t like crowds so I’ll wait until after NYD.
Oh! I don’t like crowds as well 🙂 Don’t forget that there is weeeknd that comming after the New Year 🙂 Still might be the crowds out there!
There’s zero hurry, I could go to different places too.
Will you hike alone? Or is it a group hike?
It’s just me, I do everything by myself being a real introvert…
You!? Introvert!? Come on! Are you sure!? 🙂
Yes, but not so much as I was through my school years, it was crippling, Illze.
Interesting 🙂
It sucked but I made it through those years in good shape.
Deep and crisp and even – so idyllic, with the deer and the layered sky.
Thank you, yes, that is something I enjoy living here 🙂 Snow shovelling not so much 🙂
I am quietly standing there right next to you . . . no words needed . . . let us just look and enjoy . . . or, in this case, you enjoy for me too .. .
🙂 Lovely…
Lovely post, Ilze.
Thank you, Jean! It was a nice moment. I took pictures to capture the sky, but 2 minutes later I saw this lovely family 🙂
It is good to read a post from you again – enjoy your snow while it lasts 🙂
I will 🙂 Thank you!
Good to see you, Ilze
Thank you, Derrick! Have a lovely & happy New Year!
