...of the SNOW. Yes, that is a 4 letter word to me. We've had 8 to 10 inches in most areas here and that's much more than I care to see. Some would ask "why do you still live there". Well reason number 1.....children and grandchildren and the close family we have.. I'm one of those who likes to be close to family. 2...Too old to pull up stakes now. 3...I like the change of seasons. Just prefer spring, summer and autumn to be a little longer and winter a little shorter. Ok, enough crabbing about the weather. Hold that thought, nasty weatherman predicted another 2 inches. Ok, done now.
Question? Do you prefer have sone kind of sound on, or complete peace and quiet? Hubby can't seem to deal with quiet on a long term basis (more than 2 hours, lol). Has to have the tv, radio or cd on most of the time. My sister Jodi like to have it too. We can sit at the picnic table in the summer and she has to have the radio on in the background. Me, I can go without any all morning until noon when the soap comes on. Then turn it off until about 6:30 most of the time. When sitting outside by myself, never have anything on (radio, I know where some could go with that statement, lol) for hours. We humans are a funny bunch.
You are so fortunate to have such a close family practically in the same neighborhood! I pulled up stakes a few times and this last was to come home where I grew up and for my son. I like quiet 90% of the time. I do miss conversations and laughter as I am alone now. Younger I had my walkman lol.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the snow. My son in Chicago has it worse though, they got 22 inches. I am so ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteWe've had about 40 inches of snow in the last week. It's crowded and cramped as it is around here. There's little space for more.
ReplyDeleteI like both silence or the radio on in the background, mostly news. However I have never gone out with nothing on...oh wait there was that time in Ft. Lauderdale 40 years ago...never mind.
We got snow last night but not as much as you and by tomorrow they're calling for fifties. I like both silence and music...sound of silence? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have really had a lot more snow down there. I don't think we've had even 12 inches this entire winter. Most of it has melted or the rain took care of it. At least we don't live in Boston! yikes! Oh, I finally have a new post too.
