Living here on the ranch, by myself, I have discovered the sound of silence. After 31 years of living in California, I had gotten used to the continual sounds of cars, people, machinery.... civilization. Now, that I am living far away from civilization, I find that at times there is nothing but silence. This morning, I haven't heard the breeze, the birds, the coyotes, but only complete silence. It is wonderful. I can just sit and sip my coffee and gaze at the big fluffy clouds as they cross through the very blue skies. Such peace is almost unreal. I have the sense that I am the only leaving soul in the entire world.

Well... that was short lived. The dog is lapping at her water dish and the refrigerator just kicked on. Guess there is other life in my world. lol

Annie :o)
