During winters the hush word is used quite often. Snow, sleet, and ice all get said hush to.
Winter its self says hush to several sounds of nature. Some Birds fly south, insects are not as many, many other living creatures stay in a den during winter.
Enjoy the quite hush of winter for very soon the sound of spring will be here.
I find myself checking for the peeper to begin peeping. Peeper are tree frogs that begin their music three weeks before the real spring for this year. May happen in your area too. My test group on old sayings is limited to my hood in the woods. The calendar or weather persons are close but the peepers hold true.
Just wanted to say, enjoy the hush of winter when ever you get the chance to. The hush of winter is awesome.
Love to all
You Have a Wonderful Smile.
