Some days when Jon's at work the house seems too quiet. So I turn on some background noise like the tv or online radio stations. Just something. But this morning when I returned from our walk I sat outside on the deck and just enjoyed the quiet.
It's not actually quiet. The birds are chatting to each other from across the yard. There's a squirrel going off about something. A sad lone goose is calling out for his gaggle. And a dog a few houses down is warning everyone of something; probably one of the bears that frequent our neighbourhood.
But this is a good quiet; a calming quiet. For a few minutes I'll enjoy the sounds as I sip my coffee and appreciate the warm sun; probably one of the last of it before too long. I hate to even be typing this and not taking in each moment to the fullest. So I'll take an hour then back inside I go. But perhaps I'll sneak out again later.
love this :)
