unplugged wednesday
January 26, 2012
I unplugged yesterday until evening. Not by choice. A windstorm the previous evening made the decision for me. At first I wasn’t sure. The house was so quiet. No tv, no internet and no phone on a day that I was home.
Some would beckon the quiet. I actually don’t do quiet very well. Before long, I realized we had a stereo. Duh. I could listen to the radio – NPR.
I went about my business. Made a delicous salad for lunch. I washed my bowl. I thumbed through my new recipe book (thank you Amazon gift-card) while listening to an interview with Dr. Weil.
When the above said services returned it was nice. But so was the day.

I love NPR. I listened to that same interview.

I’ve reserved a copy of the cookbook from my library. Once you’ve tried some recipes let me know which ones you recommend.
I don’t like total quiet either. NPR is always playing in the background.

It took me a long time to get used to the quiet. Now it is a part of my day. I can not get NPR here in the mountains…but sometimes, I do listen to it online.
Beautiful bowl my friend…

I don’t care for quiet myself. I am trying to do it a little more often. Even during the hurricane last August I made sure my Ipod was charged so I could listen to podcasts:-)
The book looks interesting. Enjoy reading!

The light in these photos is so beautiful. I’m glad it was a little warmer yesterday, with you being without power.

Ahh, we almost lost power again too! I am done with winter now, so done. I love Dr Weil! He is the one that changed the way I eat and feed my family over 10 years ago. Your salad made my mouth water,looks sooo good.
