Sounds of home - FSO

One of the things I love most about living on a farm is the peace and quiet.  I guess I don't take much notice of the familiar sounds, just as city dwellers don't take much notice of traffic noise.  I hadn't even heard the milk tanker (which goes past every day) rumbling past my house so was surprised when I looked out and there it was sitting by my driveway, broken down.  It must have been there for ages because the repair vehicle had already arrived.

But a helicopter does not arrive to spread fertiliser every day - I hear that!. 

If a tractor goes up the road I probably won't hear it, even though they are quite noisy.

But when my granddaughter goes putt-putting past on her little bike - I hear that!

What are some of the other sounds the might get my attention?

 Horses talking might do it.

My son taking a hammer to my roof - oh yeah, that would do it! 

The happy sound of children laughing and paddling?  Yep, for sure.

And when the grand-daughters crank up the music and sing? No doubt about it, I hear that!!  That is the sound I love! 

I'd like to do Nan U's 'blind hike’ sometime.  Maybe I will on our next long weekend when I will be touring further north with a friend.  Will have to remember to pack a blindfold (but I'll leave the silk scarf at home in case he thinks I'm too kinky)! and wander around noticing what I hear and take pictures pointing in the direction of the sound. Sounds (??) like fun actually.  Thanks for this topic, Nan U.  It really had me thinking about what I hear as opposed to all the sounds around me that I don't actually hear. 

Wonder what the rest of the FSO team came up with!  Check them out here.
