Driving With The Windows Down

Sometimes it is the small things that are felt the most. No longer do we have to keep the windows up and the AC on to keep the noise out while driving around town. They are rolled all the way down now. Wind in the hair and all.

In general it is pretty quiet around here. Although, you may wonder what we hear now. Birds, wind in the trees, squirrels, bees, trains, airplanes, cars, quiet. They are all the same sounds as before I guess, but the magnitude is lower. Softer. Allowing them to be individual sounds instead of a mashup that translates into noise. No helicopters rattling the windows, constant sirens, or freeway hum. You would think we came from a bad area, but we didn't. It was nice and pretty with amazing people. But now I get to rest and listen. I didn't know how much I would love that part of it.
