Countdown to Spring: The Blissful Silence

Today, it hit 43°F.  Strangely enough, even though it’s nicely warm – well, relatively warm – and the sky clear and the sun bright and inviting, I haven’t been able to motivate myself to take my walk today.  So, after getting back from shopping, I stayed in and listened to … silence.

Blissful silence.  The silence of the boiler not needing to run because it’s warm enough outside and in that it only needs to come on sporadically to maintain a minimum boiler temperature and occasionally heat the house.  More of those days are coming, when the constant droning of that which keeps us snuggy and warm on cold days is replaced with the peace and quiet which comes with warmer weather.

It’s a welcome break to winter-weary ears, and to paychecks and wallets as well.

Only 23 days until spring.
