Sounds of Spring

Spring is my favorite season. This one has been having trouble getting started due to late snowfall this year. There are certain sounds I love to hear as springtime approaches. I'm missing my camera as it is still in the shop, but thought briefly that it would be a fun project to put together a blog entry that puts sounds into pictures, as much as that is possible. However, lacking that capability, I thought I'd share the list anyway. Perhaps at a later time I can add the pictures and reference the entry.

The rumble of thunder in the distance.
The meadowlarks singing their beautiful songs for a mate, signaling the beginning of spring.
The buzz of a hummingbird's wings as they fly by.
The sound of raindrops softly beating on the window.
The sound of horses hooves running on the rain-softened ground.
The chirp of crickets.
The sound of frogs croaking.
The sound of water runoff after a rainstorm.

These are sounds that remind me why I like living in the countryside and not in town. We'd miss out on many of these sounds I associate with spring, and they are sounds that I thoroughly enjoy. Ah springtime, how I have missed you my friend.
