ah! quiet! walking in fresh snow and in the woods. Serene. I enjoyed this so much when I lived in rural Idaho.

I turned off my phone and modem on 12/24 and didn't turn them back until 2 days later. It was bliss. No pings, no texts, no emails, no calls. Just me and my dog. Reading, writing a letter, going through old letters from my parents, now gone. Taking walks. I enjoyed this uninterrupted peace so much that I plan to do it every month. On the evening of the 28th, I will turn off my phone and not turn it on until the morning of the 30th. Much needed respite and quiet for my soul.

A blessed new year to you, Jeanne!

Your vivid descriptions took me right into the woods with you and Ande, Jeanne. I heard the birds, quiet footfalls upon the snow, smelt the clean air. So perfect and serene.

I always enjoy pictures of Ande. Those of her cuddled up with her hedgehog are especially adorable. So cozy!

Wishing you and Ande a beautiful and joyful holiday season! Thanks for keeping these stories coming. ^.^
