Summer -

when the sunrise is at it's most breathtaking (or maybe it just happens early enough I can actually enjoy it - instead of it happening after we're already rushing about our day)

when the birds are singing

when I hear the sounds of orchard and vinard tractors making their way up and down the rows (oh, the sounds of my youth)

when everyone leaves their windows open all night, and I can hear all the different sounds of our neighbors alarms - and how many times they hit snooze (we always win in the sleeping through the alarms and hitting snooze the most times)
