Crickets and Summer Sounds

Have you really taken the time to listen to the sounds of the Seasons? The other night the crickets outside my kitchen window were so loud I could hardly hear myself think! My phone rang it was a sister from California. After a few minutes she said, "are you outside", (it was 10:30 at night), I said no. She said, "those are pretty loud crickets". I said they sure are and I'm ten feet from the window!

The summer sounds are some of the best! Kids splashing in sprinklers, all kinds of music in the air, people mowing their lawns, the sound of neighbors chatting with each other, the "good humor man", (although there isn't anything humorous about him really), families in the parks, the list goes on. Don't we wish we could hang onto these sounds? I guess we can in our memories.

Who knows. I love them can't wait for next summer to get under way. Until then make your list of sounds of the summer, and I will look forward to the sounds of Fall, Winter and Spring!
