Life at The Abbey (a blog of a 62 year old city woman’s life on a farm)


My First day on the farm was wonderful, fresh air, gentle breezes, and sunshine; everything I was looking for … wonderful! That evening I watched a magnificent red and blue sunset that simply took my breath away. I climbed into bed radiating the thought that I had finally found the peace and quiet I so longed for. Nirvana in farm life.

“It’s too quiet. Way too quite! How can you sleep in such quiet?” 2:30 AM, I am still awake. I am listing to nothing --absolutely nothing. I need sound…. Just a little noise! How the hell can anyone sleep without noise, I’d settle for the droned sound of tires on pavement.

Frustrated, I unpacked the radio, turning it on to the wonderful sounds of static. I immediately fell asleep.
