Silence

It's so nice and quiet here. The humidex is a lovely 38 degrees, but the shade and gentle summer breeze is heavenly. Writing is going quite well now. Nothing like the forest to help with writer's block. The whippoorwill wakes me up every morning and the crickets sing me to sleep. Really going to miss this place come fall, and winter when the snow is falling and I'm trapped in the city. But, for now I'm just relishing in this  calmness. Mind you, I do so love internet that works in the forest!


Was down to a inlet where the stream makes a lovely pool. The water is so cool and refreshing and as far as I could tell, no fish. I definitely think I will end up buying a house (in the next few years) in the country and just visiting the city from now on. A 20-30 minute drive from a city would be perfect. Far enough out for this kind of solitude, and close enough to be able to get anything I may need.


I really need to ask myself if I want to go back to the city for another 8 months or transfer to a smaller town that's closer to my parents' place, so I could at least have some sort of country getaway within driving distance on any given weekend if I need it. Trying to fly back and forth on a weekend just really isn't worth it for the amount of time the trip takes up of the day. But, I know everyone where I'm at, and if I transfer I would be a loner amongst a group that already has well established bonds. Ugh. Only two more falls and winters of this and I won't even have to think about it any more. I think I will conserve my batter and get back to writing now.


Cheers to summer! May she take her time in lingering and maybe even fight September to stay away, just for a while. :)
