Walking

I've been going for walks during my break and my lunch hour. I find that the noise and bustle of Paso contrasts drastically to the sound of out at home. At our house we do have vehicles passing, the noise of the airport, and the highway off in the distance, but sometimes there aren't cars/trailers/motorcycles/atvs passing by the house or airplanes/helicopters overhead. Sometimes it just gets really quiet and you can hear the frogs, crickets, livestock just going about their day or night. Sometimes you're just outside and you can hear the sound of the wind in the trees. I think that is something that I really appreciate out where we live. I can see the stars and I can hear the wind; two things that I really can't do while I walk in town. I find my walks, although refreshing, especially on days like today where I end up walking while it's raining, lack the mellow sounds of my home. It's nice having a home to look forward to at the end of the day.
