The sounds of early morning

How a vehicle sounds on a brick street

Robin chirps, catbird songs, and yoo-hoo chickadees

Sprinklers automatically watering the grass

A dog, happy barking

Wind howling outside just before sleep happens

“Hi, Ama!”

The crackle fizz when pouring a carbonated beverage over just-pulled-out-of-the-freezer-ice

Lori K’s laughter heard ’round the world, or at least in the entire building

Basketball games on the TV in March while I prepare dinner in the kitchen
