Silence this morning, from gently falling snow.
No howling wind or grinding plow blades,
Nor threatening wind blasts and snow banks.
Outside, I can hear a train in the distance,
A good two miles away, and nothing else.
I love the silence, and this gentle snow.
Good Morning Gloucester

Is this the house on the corner of Rocky Neck ave. and Shore road? I think they painted it twice, if I remember a couple of years ago. Like this color

I love their garden, too Anna–stunning throughout the seasons. Some days I make a long detour just to have a peak. Hope they are on a garden tour at some point, if they haven’t already.
