Noises I miss!
Growing up in the USVI, St. Thomas and St. John in particular, I miss the sounds of the ocean in the bay below my house, the coqui frogs and crickets at night, the flock of green parakeets that woke me up in the morning whose colors blended in so well with the palms and flamboyant trees when in bloom.
Yes, I had windchimes, too.
Soft and gentle as the breeze.
The rustling leaves.
Bannanaquits and hummingbirds at my feeding stations or just bowls of water left on railings for water or a bird bath. I've rescued baby hummingbirds, hawks and all kinds of critters.
Including bright green baby iguanas, hermit crabs, land crabs.
I'm not used to living in a closed system environment with central air and heat.
Always lived with windows and doors open, fresh breeze blowing thru my home and knowing all my neighbors.
Very different here
