Today is Tuesday. The first day of fall and my day to post. But I don't have much to say today. You see, I am too busy listening.
Listening to the tired tick of the timer as apple crisp bakes in the oven;
To the determined buzz of bees in the last blossoms of summer;
To the peppered questions of a four year old learning to sew;
And to the meticulous reading of a six year old.
To the chortle of jam jars bubbling on the stove;
To the swish of a paint brush turning the finished chicken coop barn red;

To the gossip of the busy squirrel in the tree overhead;
And to the quiet click of knitting needles making the first handmade gift for the holidays.
I apologize, dear reader, for leaving you with the sound of silence. Sometimes, though, I find it better to listen than to speak. What are you be listening to?

After a long weekend road trip of seeing (capturing images in photos) and doing (biking, building, laughing), I will be listening to the washing machine! I may also take a stroll on the shore and listen to the waves and the birds.
You got chickens? I'm so jealous!
Beautiful. I could hear it all above the sound of cable cars ringing their bells below me.
4 Bushel: Ahh, a long weekend will do that do you.
Sheeep: Did I say I was listening to the peeps of small, fuzzy chicks or the clucks of pullets? Nope. Just readying the coop. We're getting chickens in a few weeks. :) Couldn't be more excited!
Kale: Sounds like you are doing a bit of listening too!
