Quiet Morning Noises

This morning is very still with hardly a breath of breeze. On such a morning as this you can really hear everything around you. I could hear the raindrops hitting on the leaves. The maple seed helicopters twirling down to the ground. All types of birds calling. (During the night I could hear the bull frogs out in the swamp behind the house). I could even hear the high school marching band's drum line starting up for the annual Memorial Day Parade that begins at the VFW a mile away as the crow flies. Calming, peaceful, and a chance to be contemplative.
