There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you…. In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.

Yes, winter should be a time of turning inward and quietude. However, that solitude can quickly turn into cabin fever, at least for me :-).

Beautiful photo but I’m ready for “these longer quieter stretches” to be over. 🙂 Bring on the noise of summer.
