A Mosaic of Music
| I was laying on the couch today catching a much needed break. With a week old baby that nurses so often I find my time is very limited. ( It is a real blessing to have my husband home on his school break! ) I was struck by all of the sounds which are interwoven in multiple layers. Unless you listen really close you could miss one. Perhaps it is because the air conditioner has been on for days amidst all of the rain and humidity. I FINALLY was able to enjoy having the windows open for a break. I am a 'windows open' kind of person. I used to fall asleep to the sound of the frogs singing in the spring in my Grandma's pond (glorious). But I digress, I had to listen carefully to hear all of this........ the leaves rustling on our large beech tree, the wind tinkling the chimes, the quiet hum of the occasional car, two small boys in our basement giggling over a 'Minnesota Cuke' computer game, an icecream truck playing its melody repeatedly (but honestly where was it? Why do you always hear them but rarely see them? Who has change ready when and if they do come? Who gets to them before they drive away?) One thing I didn't hear was a crying baby, ah yes, true bliss. Unfortunately the windows had to be closed as the thermometer crept upward but is was a lovely discovery while it lasted. I look forward to the next time the windows are open! |
