I am trying hon! It is so quiet out here where I live. My house is 450 ft off the road so I get very little road noise as well. We have now been able to open the windows so I am sitting here right now listening to the birds and crickets and everything else lol. we did have a skunk somewhere on the property a few weeks ago. yuck! There are 4 horses that live next to me and sometimes I take carrots out to feed them. *sigh* I love it here.
