Peace

The holiday weekend is over, and Maple Lake is quiet once again.  Clouds have moved in, and I don't mind.  We need some rain.  It will be a peaceful, calm day....with no fireworks.

A chaotic lake, and loud cottagers make me appreciate days like this so much.  I like it when everyone goes home.  Somewhere inside of me, there is a grumpy old man shaking his fist.  I'm okay with that.

Snow, Snow, Snow

....and more snow.

Everything is quieter when the snow falls.  Chickadees punctuate the overarching stillness.

There is something else in the air besides the snow.  The peace becomes a presence.
