In Suburbia

On my morning walks in our neighborhood, I often notice sounds more than anything else. 

Here's what I don't like:

1. Lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and all varieties of yard noise makers

2. Car alarms

3. Unidentifiable animal sounds

4. Footsteps behind me

5. Dogs barking

Here's what I do like:

1. The calls of the mourning dove

2. The thwack of newspapers hitting their driveways

3. Airplanes overhead

 4. Children's voices

5. My dogs barking
