Sounds of summer

Birds singing
Wind rustling through grasses and trees
Referee's whistle from the football (soccer) field two blocks away
Waterfall splashing in the village pond
Motorcycle motors (not very aesthetic, but definitely summery!)

Walking is such a wonderfully sensuous experience!

Another typical sound to herald the beginn of summer is the lawnmowers motorsounds. I haven't mowed our "lawn" yet, it doesn't deserve this name anyhow, there are more weeds than grass, and just now it looks beautiful with all the daisies, dandelions and other small flowers ("Augentrost"), so I feel sorry to cut them off! (not to speak of lazyness ;))

Yes - lawn mowers are another summer sound! And I can well remember a junior member of the family who was supposed to mow the lawn a few years back mowing *around* the patches of little daisies in the grass. And yes, dandelions are beautiful!
