at our new home in Delray Beach, in increasing order of frequency:
- skateboard wheels skittering the sidewalk
- the rumble of a prop plane overhead
- the blare of the freight train on Dixie
- a boom and barrel of thunder
- fat rain slapping the pool and patio
- the whine of a blower or lawnmower
- the pulsing hum of hidden bugs
- palm fronds rustling in the breeze
- songbirds
- absolutely nothing
It’s so quiet here.
