Alone on the screened in porch I set to writing. Wanting to write the scene. The morning sun scattered by the oak and hickory tree leaves, the songs of over a dozen different types of birds, the constant hum of the cicadas and the occasional break of the harmony by the hammering of a woodpecker in the distance filled my senses. A shuffling among the underbrush at last revealed a squirrel who soon shot up an oak tree straight into a blind spot of the sun. The gentle breeze caused the vivid green leaves to wave to me. There was no silence or quiet as nature woke up. But there was a human quiet. No one was awake yet in my cottage. All the adjacent cottages held in the sounds of humanity. All that I could hear was the soothing sounds of nature and it provided a welcome peace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My experience with nature&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":20014,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[43,193],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20012"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
