whimsical wednesday!

our activity this whimsical wednesday was to pay careful attention to the sounds that occur around us as we go about our routine day.  the focus was on sounds we create or sounds that are made around us in the environment.

once the activity was posted on monday, it became impossible for me to NOT to hear those sounds that appeal to me; making my whimsical wednesday activity an ongoing process since monday.  no doubt others have also experienced this.

one of the twitter followers offered that listening to the sound of rain pinging on the roof and windows while snug in bed was a favorite sound.  that is indeed a grand sound.

these are my favorite sounds to date ("to date" for, as with other whimsical wednesday activities, this one will continue to be something something i am very aware of):

the sound of the refrigerator ice maker dumping ice cubes, then the ice tray refilling with water.

the sound of the ceiling fan whirring on high speed.

the sound of the dishwasher rumbling when it is washing the dishes.

the sound of a new email message to the inbox alert.

the sound of tea being poured from the teapot into a cup.

the sound of the screen door creaking as it is pushed open.

the sound of the scoop being plunged into the bin of shell corn when getting the ducks their breakfast.

the sound of chopping vegetables for a salad or stir fry.


what are your favorite sounds?

  2. oh, also kitty purring sounds and thunder rolling off of the mountains(although I had to grow into that one, used to scare me as a little girl)

  3. those are wonderful sounds. i like all of them as well. the thunder rolling off the mountains can be intense and, to a child, very scary. it's good that it can be enjoyed now.
