I found it--a bit of peace on a backroad, right as there was a storm building to the north of us.
I just needed OUT.
Noisy neighbor with his weed-eater and lawn mower going.
Noisy neighbor with his saw and drill and hammer going.
Noisy spousal unit who's hyper verbal when he's cut a ceiling tile to the wrong size....LOL
Noisy.....phone going, computers going--everything and everyone was goin'!
So I got goin' too.
Back road.
Turn left, turn right, turn right--go a bit......one more left and put the car in park.
It was just an hour.
He-who-curses-ceiling-tiles didn't even miss me.
I'm pretty convinced the neighbors didn't either.
Quietness.
A slow breeze.
A muted sunset with a flash of lightening here and there.....and nothingness.
Pretty sure it was a good plan to take that hour or so.
Everyone lived as a result!!
MIGHT need to take another hour this evening.........

So glad to hear you had a little peaceful getaway, Mel!
And speaking of storms and lightening, we had the same here on Tuesday. In fact, we had TORNADO warnings up until 7PM that evening. It never actually hits us, but the wind was TREMENDOUS - almost blew me off the street walking home from work.

We all need that bit of peace and quite to regroup sometimes. More people should make their way to the backroad. It would be a much more kind and loving world.
Glad you were able to find that peace on a back road. We all need it at times. Nothing wrong with taking two....
Tonight three of us pals went out for an early dinner...finishing about 7:00 pm. As we walked through our little village, we saw a woman behind the wheel of her car in a parking lot.
"Look at that woman. Do you think she's okay?" H said.
The woman's head had fallen back against the headrest and her mouth was wide open. She was fast asleep.
"What do you think she's doing sleeping here at this time of day?" J said.
"Probably getting away from chaos." I said.
Sounds like a car is a sanctuary for some! XO
I'm so glad that you managed to get away and get a moments quiet...we all need them every so often!
*hugs*

Are you trying to set a good example for me?
~sigh~
