What does it sound like at your house?
In the early, early morning, I can hear the creek rushing in the valley
The trees rustle unless it's really windy and then they sound like a hurricane coming through
Sometimes, it's raining
Cows moo at each other and the moos echo across the valley
During the day, the woodpeckers and the squirrels fight constantly. One of the giant trees in front of our house is a woodpecker granary. The squirrels are constantly trying to steal the acorns. The battle commences daily.
The stellar jays talk a lot too. Sometimes they talk to you when you are walking in the driveway
The occasional car drives by
Sometimes, the volunteer fire department alarm rings
Our neighbors' chickens cluck
The ducks at the pond quack
Dogs bark
People walking by chat and also huff and puff. We live in a hill
Sometimes our neighbor is working on his house - sawing, hammering, listening to some oldies
Inside, D is laughing or talking or whispering
Toys are making noise
The cat is often meowing loudly
Usually, laundry
If our neighbor is home, there is lots of thumping from the downstairs apartment
Those seem like lovely noises. I get to hear the traffic of Wooley Road, most often the sounds of emergency response vehicles, revving motorcycles or tires screeching around the corner at Kelp. I hear Mabel barking at those things. I hear cartoons on at almost all times. Casey's iPad playing some sort of Youtube video game tutorials. I hear Christa and Casey pretty much nonstop, usually asking me for all the things. Thank God Brad is quiet.
