\"DSC<\/p>\n

Today I’d intended to go out and fire up the weed whacker. The yard is a mess & I hadn’t really noticed until yesterday, I don’t’ know how I missed it.<\/p>\n

But when I got up this morning, I encountered an unusual silence. No cars, no motorcycles, no power tools in the distance, absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

At first I thought the power must be out. A quick check showed all the clocks, and digital indicators were powered up. Then I remembered it’s Fathers Day. <\/p>\n

I guess dads all over town are taking a day off from their weekend chores. Maybe today they’re having leisurely breakfasts, and perhaps a roll in the hay before dispensing hugs of thanks for the macaroni cards and silly ties. Then they’re opening shiny new tools that they’ll use next weekend.<\/p>\n

In the meantime the only sounds I can hear are the birds chirping, and the breeze in the trees. I’m thankful for the silence and I don’t want to disturb the status quo.<\/p>\n

I’m afraid if anyone makes any noise at all then all the sounds of mankind will suddenly intrude.<\/p>\n

Even the tapping sounds of my keyboard seems loud right now. <\/p>\n

It’s probably just as well that I’m sitting quietly and enjoying the peace & quiet. I didn’t sleep well. My experience has been that if I mix power tools with lack of sleep, bad things tend to happen. I’ll just deal with the yard tomorrow when the construction crew starts up in the wash again.<\/p>\n

Happy Fathers day all.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the silence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
