As I just said to a good friend, checking in on me, I've simply become intoxicated by the silence. It snowed again last night.
It's cold but there is a warm and quiet sense of center here. I am letting it fill me.
I did find my laptop, that's something, still missing the power cord for my desktop, and my printer. Slowly getting through stuff. But it's ok. Like I said, I am just being here. In between chores and settling in.
I'll get back to thread and such, I will start by darning the moth holes in my sweater. Thank you for all your kind comments on my last post, I'll be back to answering soon. Just so little time spent on the web right now. Honestly, on purpose.
I only recently found your blog. Your work is beautiful. Your posts are calming. Thank you.
Oh, hey, welcome, thank you for visiting and taking the time to say…
The temperatures will dip this weekend, stay warm. Glad you have your kitty with you.
Still and quiet is so GOOD, I wish you lots ! (we will all be here when you’re ready to “return” ) <3
cozy silence…
Soul—o in front of the fire as you putter around listening to silence… so happy you’re doing well. ❄️💕⛄️🐈⬛🔥
Lots of love. 🙂
🥰🥰🥰
I can almost feel the calm in your words…home at last, after a time of stress and wondering… I know the peace of a snowy woods, and am feeling a little envy of your cozy hearth and crackling fire. Tlme is now yours.
Jude, silence feeds my soul too. Go well. thank you…
There’s a lot to be said for silence. As I read your post, I noticed all the suburban sounds I can hear right now from inside my house. Enjoy the silence of the snowy forest. It is magical!
♥️♥️♥️
I hope you find your new home as cozy and “homey” as it looks. Wishing you peace.
Your new home looks wonderful and I love the wood floor! Do you think you will do anything with the little cottage?
Congrats on finally getting there!
💛
probably a studio come spring, and then who knows?
Beautiful and calming..especially
Soul-O..
Looks like he’s adjusting !
You and soulO, and the fire……..so cosy…………happy new home……
I am so thankful that you are back here in this familiar space. Feels a bit like home and always yeah for quite.
And you look out onto a little red house!! How perfect!
Love the round hearth. I love being intoxicated by silence also.
Hello, Jude. Everyone is waiting. Arranged. Around your fireplace. Like in an Amphitheater. And the comments are just applause. Despite the cold. They are not kindness, they are not empathy. You know how to do it. To give life to something – seemingly insignificant. 🍀
It’s lovely to see you and Soul-O making yourselves comfortable, beginning to settle in and find your way to be home (and to find all your stuff). Wishing you both a cozy, peaceful winter there.
I’m so happy you are feeling at ease in your new home. And I hope you continue taking your own sweet time. Sending warm greetings & love
Congratulations on your new abode jude. The fireplace has symbolism already, and we have only seen from the foots point of view, ha. I like that half moon brickwork and the octagonal type of floor boards happening there. I believe you mentioned a round house. What joy that must bring. Wishing you a contented time of finding stuff.

Sounds amazingly idyllic! Peace and joy to you both as you settle in to your new home!
There’s nothing like the silence of snow…
I’ve always loved the thought of a round house. I hope you
feel settled soon, but not rushed. A new beginning, fresh…
Soul-o is settling well.
Jude, the silence can be intoxicating. Your new home looks so cosy. Take your time to settle and embrace the new environment.
The snow looks magical. We just had 42 degrees C yesterday so the snow looks inviting.
Wishing you and Soul-O all the best.
Peace be with you
I so miss the quiet that comes while it snows. and the silence in forests or areas with lots of trees. lets us have a time to think and contemplate.
I love the silence that comes with the snow.
These days silence is hard to come by and surprisingly many seem to be uncomfortable with it. It’s very restorative though and oh so needed in the noisy world we live in. Enjoy………..
Peace comes in silence especially with early winter snow. And the deer how lovely.
Take Peace and quiet Joy.
Day by day, step by step… you have a wonderful pal there with you and the fire is lit – take time and dream about what is coming your way…
Enjoy the wonder of quiet and yes, take time – all is well!
“intoxicated by the silence”
“quiet sense of center”
( How could it be anything less in your round house in the wood?!)
💚🦌❄️
So good to see snippets of your new place. Silence is good medicine. Take care!
From Queensland Australia where it’s high summer. It looks a bit chilly, but Solo is happy and you’ve found the laptop. The fire is burning and you have work planned. Hello to the next chapter. But first, time to get over the shock. 🙂
“intoxicated by the silence”… yes! experiencing it in our forest cottage as well. our cat lays luxuriously in front of the wood burner also. for hours. the depth of peace found in purposeful solitude fills your words ‘n our hearts. feelin’ grateful. x
Soul-O has found his winter place and you are finding yours. Enjoy the peaceful silence. What are the trees? I don’t see any evergreens.
Haven’t really checked closely. Oak, maple, hickory, hawthorn, apple, but I will know better in spring. There are evergreens over the hill.
Love snowy silence ! Soul-o is happy and so at home.
So very happy to see and hear that you are settling in🦋 The snow looks wonderful and peaceful, just like Soul-o, who chooses the warm bricks over the pillow!
Filling with warmth and quiet – sounds perfect.
The round house has a round heart(h)!
Enjoy being soothed by silence.
Step by step, inch by inch
Looks like the most perfect winter wonderland Jude. Enjoy your time spent getting settled in and making it your own. What a grand adventure!
Take your time. All will be well.
Wonderful quiet time 💙🕊️
Jude~ The slow simplicity of this post warms my heart. enjoy the time and the quiet.
Oh, Heaven!
