Sounds I love to hear…

Today I was thinking of the sounds I love to hear.

• Birds singing in the morning - seems like they are so happy to be up early
• A train approaching from the distance - the sound of the train's warning whistle getting louder as the closer it gets
• Children laughing and playing outside - just enjoyment to my ears
• Babies giggling make me giggle, too.
• The ocean at night - you can hear the power of the waves yet it calms you to sleep
• "Gentlemen, start your engines!" - get ready!
• A dog barking in the distance - protecting its family
• The rustling of leaves on a tree moving to a summer breeze
• The ice cream truck music - Ice cream! Ice cream!
• A frog's mating call on a hot summer night -
• The bark of a puppy when playing - ready for the next move
• The sound of a marching band in a parade - wave a flag
• Echo of a cannon shot in the hills - how far can it be heard?
• The splash of a child jumping into a pool - hey Grandma, look!
• The squeaking of a swing when a child swings
• The startup of a lawnmower in the Spring
• Snow landing on the bushes and the ground - you have to be real quiet to hear it
• Happy Birthday!
• Congratulations!
• My granddaughter telling me "It's a beautiful day Grandma!"
• A gentle rain
• A cat's meow
• You are now pronounced man and wife!
• Christmas bells ringing
• Church bells ringing - what time is it?
• Fireworks!
• A flag flapping in the wind
• Tap dancing shoes
• "Are you ready for some football?"
• A cow bell ringing
• The clip-clop sound of a horse
• Someone playing an accordion
• Someone playing a harp - so peaceful
• A hiccup
• Christmas Carols being sung
• A child singing
• Taps being played
• Santa saying "Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!
• The sound of a water fountain
• Your favorite song being played on the radio
• The honking of horns for a newly married couple
• A newborn baby's 1st cry - whew!
• School bell
• Goodnight John Boy
• Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!
• Touchdown!
• Home Run!
• The playing of the Star Spangled banner at the Olympics Awards Ceremony
• Thank you!
• A rooster crowing in the morning
