In search of peace and quiet

Let’s make some noise about...being quiet. We interview longtime Cottage Life contributor Leslie Garrett about “Killing Us Softly,” from our June/July 2020 issue, about the importance of silence and its surprising effects on our wellbeing. Some noises, however, we love. Like the call of a loon. Deputy Editor Liann Bobechko decodes loon calls. And, in true cottage style, we revisit an essay about relaxing at the lake.  Articles referenced:“Killing Us Softly” by Leslie Garrett (Cottage Life magazine, June/July 2020)“On the Pleasures of Not Doing a Thing” by J.
