It's school time again and the sounds of early morning school bells ringing is the greatest sound to my ears. It means seeing the children in the morning fussing about because they want to sleep later but can't, parents fussing with their half-asleep children rushing them to school and rushing off to work after dropping off the children. It also means the neighborhood is a lot more quieter from the events during the summer when children, teens and older adults stay out late with loud talking, laughing and high pitched music until 2am.
Aaahh, the sweet sound of quiet and stillness is the sweetest sound to me. I love when the summer is over and the coldness of the fall begins. I can sit on my porch and actually enjoy the quiet of the early morning everyday. Once the air becomes colder and a lot more rigid these fools will be too afraid to venture out during the day. The early fall and on through winter is my greatest reprieve from loud-mouthed neighbors.
Can't wait for the blast and chill of winter to appear.
