Sounds of Summer

The last few moments before night sets in...

I'm cheating... actually writing my Friday post on Thursday evening while I sit on the screen porch and listen...

• to the birds singing their sweet good-nights,
• to the neighbor's lawn mower, his headlights guiding him in the darkness,
• to the kids shooting hoops in the driveway - no homework tonight,
• to the crickets chirping,
• to chattering on a neighbor's porch - though I can't hear a word they say, it's a sweet sound,
• to the peacefulness of it all.

Summer! Absolute bliss!
