Lately, these sounds of Christmas surround us:
// the harmony of the sewing machine and light snoring from my man late into the nights
// a clever teen declaring she’d take China-made over hand-made (no, I wasn’t offended…her handheld, technology device wish list is extensive!!)
// casual chatter as the Whisper Mountain Elves prepped some treat bags for local friends
// groaning from the timid carolers as they were dragged closer to the doorstep
// blended notes of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” as the WM Staff delivered treat bags
// shuffling of cards for post caroling fun!
// crackling of wood from the fire place
// (millionth time) inquiries on present time
// heart tears dropping onto a broken world
// snish, snish and pam, pam of little elves working hard
// dripping rain from the overhang, shoes splashing through puddles
// quiet wishes for snow
What sounds are filling your days lately?
Camp Blog 
Sounds of school lessons almost being done
Practicing a piano piece for grandpas for the bajillionth time
A baby (taking care of a friends 3 month old, haven’t heard those sounds in this house in awhile)
Sounds of rain falling & wishing out loud it was snow
The munch munch munch of kids & birds & squirrels eating everything in sight preparing for a long winters nap (ok maybe not the kids)
