I knew that my surroundings would come to life once spring really hit, but I had no idea just how magnificent it would be! I’m a self proclaimed news fanatic, the news is on from the time I wake up in the morning and it stays on until 12:30, minus 11 to 11:30 when I watch Frasier reruns. Then the news is back on again at 4:00 PM until 6:30 PM, then again from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM, if I stay awake that long. So yes, you could say I’m a bit of a news fanatic…LOL!
But last week and this week I’ve taken to either hitting the mute button or completely turning the TV off once everyone is off to work/school and it’s just me and the dogs here. I then open the windows and just take in what there is to hear. I’ve heard some of the prettiest birds I think I’ve ever heard in my life, I’ve caught a few squirrel fights and I even managed to see and hear a deer run through the woods out back this morning after the fog lifted. It’s such a wonderful sound and it just gives me a peaceful feeling that nothing else ever has before!
Evenings aren’t as quiet, you have the kids fighting, the hubby trying to get them to stop fighting, and four dogs mixed in with all the commotion. On top of that, there are at least two TV’s going, if not more. So no, there’s no peace and quiet tonight, but that’s OK because it’s keeping me awake for something special! So STAY TUNED!!!
