Quiet

Quiet …

It’s so quiet outside right now… it’s been this way for at least an hour… it’s pretty spooky really  … No crows crowing,  no songbirds singing,  no trucks on the highway,  no planes flying overhead,  no wind, no crickets,…

I live in Harris County,  my neighbors aren’t taking their usual Sunday afternoon target practice, no blowers blowing, even the next-door neighbors’ rooster isn’t crowing, no dogs barking… it’s eerie  … Really!

 It’s a cloudy day , but if I look up there are no clouds  … just white-grayish sky …

Oh, … slight breeze … the leaves falling  … sound like rain  …

There’s an angry squirrel out there now … jumping through the trees

 Ugh! … Now the crows have returned  … not my favorite … and the cars  …

They are aware of my moment of silence  … and have come to destroy it … bastards …
