What a quiet morning!

I just took a peek outside. What a quiet morning. The trees are absolutely still and the skies a dreary shade of grey. There is no rain. There are no birds chirping and no squirrel chattering at Kitty or each other.
I had better check my news feed and make sure the world didn't end or something. How often do you wake up to absolute stillness?

It's been quiet here too (except for the sirens a half hour ago). Even the rain has been quiet, but as I look out the window just now, I see it's trying to snow again. But apparently it's still above freezing, so with luck, it won't pile up.

@TheHorse Not sure what color it is, but there's a Lilliputian hockey rink where the walkway dips...

@BarBaraPrz Understood. Sounds like a good day not to be out driving.

@TheHorse I don't know. Everyone in mid section, eastern section and south are in for a blizzard. We have up to five inches predicted here in my area in MS and a low of 14 degrees on Tuesday night. Wind chill will have us down to like 4 degrees. Brrr

At 5:30 am, I took my morning meds and listened to the wind playing with our trashcan. I looked out my bedroom window and the trashcan is is on its side being scooted around the yard. It's too cold for me to worry about going out to "save" the trashcan... There wasn't anything in it anyway. *shrug*

@TheHorse There are frost patches on the inside of my bedroom windows. It's 11:40 am, 14F and still windy here.
The trashcan is still in my front yard.

Most days unless there is a storm outside or when the garbage men arrive on Mondays and Thursdays it is so quiet around her you can hear a pin drop unless Freddie is caterwauling,
