Peaceful

Today was a bit of a rarity - a relatively nice day, when I couldn't actually hear any of my neighbors so it felt very peaceful and relaxing.  I know it's not going to last - I wondered down the road to the house on the next lot over that is being refurbished, and it looks like they still have a lot of work to do.  Hopefully nothing as noisy as last week when they were operating all kinds of heavy equipment.  But when you're out on your deck and lying in your deck chair watching the occasional cloud pass over the otherwise brilliant blue sky, with only the sound of your wind chime or birdsong to disturb your reverie, you really appreciate these quieter moments.
