A Rural Life
Day 17
Q is for Quiet
Winter, spring and summer can have the fog. It’s lovely
autumn that claims the mist.
I took this photo one misty Saturday morning in late
September. I’d been outside on the patio, wrapped in a light blanket, long
enough to drink a cup of coffee. It was QUIET. The birds weren’t even singing
as if they, too, enjoyed the silence. No wind rustled the leaves as two deer
walked silently through the backyard, wraiths in the mist.
Without a sound to disturb the perfect quiet, the sun rose over the mountain ridge and light streamed through the trees. The
birds began to sing and the perfect quiet became a lovely memory to share.

Some times such quietness is more relaxing than the chirping birds, rustling leaves, or even the ocean waves. Quiet can be beyond blissful. Photo is very pretty.
I enjoy being on the patio early and listening for the first bird. I'm not really crazy, it's that I've always had a dog and the one I have now is a really early riser. He likes to take his morning "stroll" at daybreak so I'm up :)
That is a lovely photo. I can just imagine sitting on your patio enjoying the quiet--something that's rare for those of us living in the downtown area of a big city.
I've never lived in a town. I can't imagine hearing nothing but the noise from traffic all day every day. I get tired of the noise after a day when I go to New York.
