sounds of summer

Mowed the lawn today.  It was cool, comfortable, sunny.  Perfect day to get outside.  Over the rumbling of the engine I could hear birds chirping, calling.  I could hear kids playing.  I thought about putting on headphones to listen to music, but hearing the world around me was rythmic enough.  Squirrels rustling in the trees, the cats meowing in the window.  Ahh the sounds of Summer.
