Quiet, serene, calm, romantic, soothing

Fresh coffee in hand while you watch the fog lift off the water … Seals splashing in the distance … An afghan thrown over your legs … A heron standing guard on the shore … The tide going out to starfish, spitting clams, and shells. . . Two kayakers drifting with the current … It’s the quiet you remember most. A year ‘round getaway. A refuge from the everyday.
