The silence of snowfall

Anything that falls from the sky usually has a sound associated with it, be it rain, hail, or a tree crashing to the ground. However, snow, real snow, light and crisp when it falls is enveloped in a veil of silence. That is amazing. A reminder of the many blessings that we take for granted everyday that shower on us silently from above.

More snow

Snow has arrived, and a whole bunch of it. Three feet on the ground and the forecast says there is more to come. There has been no electricity for the past two days.

Winter carnival 2010

The rain has been constant for the past twenty four hours. However, this did not dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of the local folks, who turned out ic large number with umbrellas to watch the winter carnival procession. For the first time, Lady Willingdon Hospital took part, with a float depicting the growth of the hospital and commemorating the 75 years of service to the community. Well done team!
