Sunday 4:00 p.m. Sounds

A rooster crows from a nearby neighbour’s yard.

Birds chirp in the mango tree outside my bedroom window.

The ceiling fan makes a musical sound as it rotates and cools the room.

The gong-like sound from somewhere nearby makes me curious and I go in search of the creator of the sound. I discover two Buddhist monks striking the end a large-suspended drum in the court yard of the temple.

A 100 cc motorcycle can be heard making its way down the alley. I wonder how many people ride together – 2, 3, 4, or maybe even 5, if there are small children on board?

Hammers pound at the traditional wood home under renovations two doors down.

What 4:00 p.m. sounds do you hear where you are?

the garage door opening beneath my floor

silent - because the windows are closed ... it's winter!

my electronic daytimer reminding me that I have an appointment?

the rumble and grumble of the water heater

(just so you can know that you're not missing much!)
