A gracious good Saturday morning, all.
I slept obscenely well, happy to say. Dreamed pleasant enough dreams.
I did awaken to total silence. I am used to hearing background hums of the dehumidifier in the den, and that wasn't humming, meaning it was full and needed emptying.
My Alexa Echo unit provides "rain sounds" all night long unless I tell it to stop. I find those sounds soothing and they mask other sounds...birds in the bushes outside my windows, for instance. My bedroom has three windows and there are a lot of birds out there. They are usually very quiet but mating season can be a tad raucous.
This is particularly true of the geese. They don't live in my yard, but they seem to consider it a mating ground.
