The Sweetest Sounds.............
gamble quail at around 4 or 5 p.m.
owls at midnight
the inflection of my grandmotherly name (Chi Chi) being called out by the petites
race horse hoofs, beating the dirt while coming down the stretch
Diana Krall singing Popsicle Toes
thunder
rain on a tin roof
sniffles, fighting back tears
the breathing in the moments during and after
my dogs quiet way of getting my attention, by using his nose on my elbow
Isabellas new word: Poo Poo
Marvin Gaye singing, "What's Goin On" and "Sexual Healing"
jet engines upon lift off
the martini shaker mixing a masterpiece on a Friday evening
the softness of a southern womans voice who is deeply concerned. (You must lean in to listen)
the unzipping of a zipper
the spritz of a delicate perfume and the lingering of the smell
"may I take your order please"
the click my watch makes when I place it on my wrist
the deep breathing of my sleeping dog
a southern mans vernacular as he slips his arm around your waist
tissue paper as you unwrap a gift
laughter from your heart that comes from long standing friendships/relationships
tears of sympathy
the closing of a book after a great read
a hand patting the bottom of a baby child
the breathing sounds of a great massage
coffee perking in my coffemaker
george clooney's voice (SIGH)
unwrapping a hersheys kiss
music boxes
Jane Siberry and K.D. Lang singing "Calling All Angels"
Jim Brickman playing the piano
the mad genius of Amaedus
footsteps in a museum
PLEASE...........add to the list.....................................

The little trill (half cry, half purrr) that my kittie makes when she is pleased with me.

My husband saying, "Yes, dear, you could probably be right."
The sound of my son's keys in the door when he's (Very, very) late getting home.

Lawn sprinklers on a hot summer day. Tina
Those are beautiful!
I also like: "Hello Mother." (answered with, Hello, Child...); Molly's yelps of joy when I return from a trip; the silence after turning off a car following a harrowing drive; a satisfied sigh after something wonderful; the morning chorus of nature. Silence - just the sound of nothing.
