Oh how I miss the January silence! It was a feature of growing up in the Highlands of Scotland – after the fuss (very low key in those days!) of Christmas and Hogmanay it was bliss to go through the slow, quiet days of January. Now whenever I feel jaded by the constant noise of the city and the over-busy life we lead in it I don’t hanker after a Caribbean holiday to recharge my batteries – I just long for January days watching the snow fall or listening to the silence of midwinter.

Country Gardener, in all this snow I have to use my new shoeshoes just to get to the hen house. But we did go for a recreational trek on sunday. Quiet in the woods.

What a lovely post. I live in the country, and my house is a fair distance from the road. So I can really indentify with with you say about the value of silence. The best thing about the deep snow is going snowshoeing every day. This winter has already been terrific for that here in southern Ontario.

Darla – It is quiet. Much of the time – we do live at the End of the Road.

What a lovely post! I too have been enjoying the quiet of January, especially since I work retail, and December is the most stressful of months. Now I can catch my breath and watch the snow fall. Ahhhh. I think I need a cup of tea.
