Silence: It’s quiet around here: the robins have flown the coop, our resident bunny appears every few days but never makes a sound, and at the moment we have no visitors . Just the two of us and we’re pretty quiet.
Solitude: typical balance; plenty of solitude in the midst of our usual social activities.
Simplicity: that’s up for grabs, for sure. We’re gearing up, literally, to take a bunch of stuff to the neighborhood yard sale at our daughter’s in Pennsylvania. It’s not simple to sort and pack the car. Then there is the getting ready for my trip to Scotland. We drive home next Sunday morning and I fly out that evening. Packing for both trips is complex. But once I get on the Isle of Iona, for a week my life will be silent, solitary and simple.
Bunny must have been in a little squabble. Thus looks like she has three ears.
