I am participating in Momalom’s Five for Five. Today’s topic is on Listening. Also linked up with Six Word Fridays.
Ah, the serene sounds of spring.

Spring is not my favorite time of year. I’ve never been one to hide my adverse feelings towards it. I would gladly go through a million winters if I never had to deal with another thunderstorm or tornado warning.
Although for all the negativity I feel towards this season, I do admit there are perks. When the days are nice, they are very nice. The weather is a comfortable medium, the grass is green and lush, flowers begin to bloom. It’s as if an artist came by with a paintbrush and added color.
And the birds, they sing.
The other day was one of these such days. The sky was a crisp ocean of blue, a slight breeze drifting past in a rustle. It was the kind of day that begs for open windows. Which I obliged. I sat on my couch and just listened, to nothing and everything. To nature enjoying its sunshine.
The trees were swaying lightly and birds chirp chirped in tune. And I sat and listened. With a cup of coffee in hand, eyes closed, and my legs tucked under. It was a beautiful day. And the birds, they continued to sing their music, filling my home with harmony through the open windows.
I sat and listened.
And then I heard Jedi yell from his bedroom.
“Shut up you stupid birds!”
Ah, the serene sounds of spring.
You have me rolling! It probably doesn’t help that I’m watching old episodes of Roseanne. Jedi had a DJ moment. 🙂
Ha! This just made me burst out laughing.
Lol. AH, kids. Gotta love ’em.
Snort.
Ha!
I like the sounds of spring. It’s the snot that gets to me. 😉
LOL!! “Shut up stupid birds!” OMG!! Hysterical!! Spring and Fall are my favorite. They are the least “extreme” seasons in my mind. Not too hot, not too cold.
That’s so funny…I can just hear him saying that. I love spring b/c it’s my birthday (ha!) but the back and forth between this Ohio weather has been especially brutal this year. Yuck!
@Tristine, I’m a much bigger fan of fall.
@Tiffany, The weather has been so weird this year.
hahaha! If I’m going to be honest, in my college years, I was known to shout that more than a few times out my window.
Nice setup. Perfect punchline.
I like that you don’t like spring. It’s so unexpected 😉 It’s kind of like not liking puppies. Which I don’t.
Nothing like a kid to keep it real, so funny.
Listening to everything and to nothing. I think this is listed under Special Skills of a Mother. Yes, indeed.
