My noisiest neighbors so far have been a scold of Jay fledglings just outside my bedroom window.
Women remove a square centimeter of clothing. Winter is when they add it back on.
When the BBC start telling you how many days to go before christmas.

The solstice, news bulletins, otherwise wouldn't notice much change, except it never rains here in the Summer.
Lawnmowers running at 7AM in the morning is a pretty good clue.
When Fisher Spiders come out at night and plant themselves under the back porch light (P.S. Not MY hand ! (internet picture!) :
I feel guilty about not getting up early, hear the damn lawn grass growing and fall asleep on the mower, no excuse for not doing repairs from winter, endanger from being arrested for to much clothing removal, fish don’t bite until eve, bugs are hell. Most of all the flavor of the pipe is poor. Other than that it’s a great season.
Around here, Summer comes with BBQ potato chips, Dr. Pepper, and Macaroni salad.
The Summer Triade.
The Summer Triade.
I sure miss this triade after the pace maker was installed and the fist full of pills from meat, salt and sugar.
When the constant rain stops in the Midwest…..and the woodpecker in my neighborhood starts making noise in the morning.
I just moved my Christmas-present birdhouse realizing I had forgotten and put it on a tree that is too close to the air conditioner and its noise, and it may have been too close to the window with its lights and motion as people and cats move around.
I put it on a tree across from the front of the house, slightly higher. I'd be surprised if we get a nest this year, though some birds do nest for a second brood, i think. We'll see what happens. The birds definitely inspected it before the a.c. came on regularly.
By the way, bluejays are in the Corvid family, like crows and ravines. That surprised me when I learned it.

I can relate! I love a cold calm winter night. A walk in the woods and the only sound is from my own footsteps. No insects, no frogs...just pure beautiful silence. I particularly remember the winter nights when I lived in Michigan. I had 10 acres of land, heavily wooded. Once I went out during a heavy snow but the winds were gentle. Giant flakes. As they fell I could hear them hitting the dried oak leaves that had not fallen. Such a sound.
