I love this time of year. When the summer heat and humidity (except for the past three days) has gone away, and you can turn off your air conditioner and allow the cool night time breezes of early fall to move through the house.
And with the turning off of that air conditioner, you can finally hear the nice sounds of peepers, and leaves rustling, and rain drops (if it's raining), and the motorcycles across the bay (if you live across the bay from a biker bar like I do).
But, when the restless motorcycles finally quiet down, and the cops don't have to chase them any more, you can lay back in bed and just listen to the not-so-silent nighttime noises that were masked by the wonderfully cool, but deafeningly loud, air conditioner a few days ago. Or in my case, yesterday. And those soothing sounds bring a peace like no other. Till the motorcyclists need to ride again.
Oh, and did I mention the high pitched, loud tones of the fire brigade alarm? Can't forget about that!
Ahhhh, lovely nighttime sounds!
