This morning in mid-July, barely 10a.m., the sky is high overcast but bright, and the temps are not yet into the 70s.

All my doors and windows are open; the AC is off, the refrigerator is quiet, there is silence in the cottage.

But outside the birds are singing their songs, the crows are cawing, a few crickets are chirping, a distant cow lowing for her baby.

I'm sitting on the porch with the laptop in my lap, listening, in awe, only my breathing and the click of the keys occasionally......

What a lovely, peaceful, restorative morning. Praises!

I can smell that fresh outdoor smell, while reading your beautiful description :D:D:D

What a wonderful day. Reminds me of a favorite Hymn..."Priase God from whom all blessings flow..."

Jan, you are in one of the most beautiful areas of the country, IMHO. Enjoy your day!

"Sounds" like Heaven to me.....

Life is good!! :)

Life is good!! :)

I agree, life is beautiful and peaceful like that here in VT as well, but if I had to move it would be to your area.
