In the Leafy Tree Tops . . .


In my morning walks i have discovered that we live in a very noisy neighborhood. No, not alot of traffic. It is rare in a half-hour of walking to see more than one car drive by. Not alot of people out either. It is still early and usually house lights are just quietly winking on.
But oh, what a commotion as the birds sing "Good Morning"! There are morning doves hooting, and cardinals singing, and robins converge in whole flocks, and the geese fly overhead, honking to keep the whole gaggle together, and various other varieties twitter unseen from the trees.
So if (no, when) you come to visit us bring your bird books and a pair of binoculars. Come out on a walk and you will be greeted by a whole chorus of cheery "Good Mornings!"

I agree, and oh boy, what about camping? I can't sleep unless it's totally quiet. I don't sleep while camping here. On the other hand though, when we leave here and go camping in the west, I can't sleep there either anymore, because it's too quiet. Creepy!
