right now..

Right now, I am sitting at my desk in my room. I have the window open a little, even though it is 52 degrees.

I can hear the wind blowing through the trees. There are many trees in the neighborhood, including evergreens. I love the sound of the wind in the trees.

I can hear the occasional dog barking, and the wind chimes.

I even hear the occasional mallard duck or small flock of geese flying over.

There are definitely some nice things to be experienced in the American Northwest.. including what I can hear.. as I sit at my desk.
