Happy St. Peacock Day!

Happy St. P' Day! - Melinda PetersonHappy St. Peacock Day!  A few months ago, I turned off the noise at home and tuned in to silence for awhile.  I began to hear a sweeter melody playing in the background, as greener thoughts emerged in the playground of my mind. 

I found myself reading, wondering and swimming in a sea of creativity.  I began to dance in the rain again, munching on asparagus and tweeting tips between friends.  I've even pinned a few cartwheels over my neighbor's fence.

Did you know that the letters in SILENT are the same letters in LISTEN?!  I've become silent, so I may listen to the sound of music resonating in my soul.  It's leading me to happier thoughts and greener pastures, and for that I am grateful.

Say hello to the handsome Peacock I met along the trail... what a great way to recycle those bottles that some will inevitably be sipping from today!

Mel-It is wonderful to just be silent. It is so nurturing for the soul. You do become creative instead of watching others be creative. Love the peacock, Very unique.

Love those precious moments of silence I can find in my life.  And the handsome Peacock is a great idea for the garden.

Mel  After spending 50 years in the city...living in the country screams with silence to me!  Love it...but there is nothing silent about nature; birds, wind, waterfalls, the sound of rain.  Silence is golden.

I love the quiet moments in my life.  Now I gotta go make dinner.  Then some quiet snuggle time.

Ha... John, I've lived in the country for the last 30 years and now I live in the city ;-)  Fortunately, my yard backs up to a farm, so I get to hear the cows moo in the morning... such a sweet sound ;-)

Making dinner on your birthday... Tammy?  What's wrong with that picture... where's your Donald?  Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Thank you for making a regular appearance and for commenting... Mr. Kev!  Happy St. Peacock Day!

Mel, what a cute pic, now I know what to do with the empty wine bottles. I hope you had a fun St Patty's day

Had to smile at our pal Gayle's comment. The sweet sounds of silence - at first I thought you might reference the peacock's sounds - not peaceful at all! :)  That is perhaps the most creative use of wine bottles I've ever seen.
