Winter Wonderland

January 31st, 2008 by cockerlady

I just wanted to remind people of our little town and rural North Dakota just how privileged we are. Nature has certainly been at her best as several mornings we have been awakened to the lush frosty shimmering trees that glisten in the sunlight. The sundogs can be seen on the horizon and sometimes the snow falls so light that it reminds us of white feathers that never make a sound. Of course at other times the wind, snow and temperature remind us that weather in North Dakota is not be reckoned with and we should close our doors and stay where it is safe and warm. Maddock is still a place where snowmen are built and kids skate on the river and people chat over warm cups of coffee. Winter gives the land a rest and gives us time to reflect and plan because spring will be here all too soon!
