My Old Room
June 28, 2011
At home..in my old room, now the guest room.
Woke up. Looked out the window over the bed. Those are eucs.. can you smell them through the open window?
Then looked left. Those are mostly pepper trees on the bank. These were my two main views forever, growing up.
Then listened. Got: a mourning dove most prominently, with lots of quiet around it. Definitely the sound I remember most. In the way distance, I could hear a dog barking, a chainsaw (maybe trimming a eucalyptus), a lawnmower, and a construction hammer. It was sort of like going on an auditory scavenger hunt.
