What I’ve heard in the last few days:
- a metal bat connecting with a baseball
- a pair of geese honking their way up the McKenzie River, maybe looking for a nesting site
- Elena giggling when Sylvan tickled her feet
- an osprey calling from its nest, high up in a snag above the river
- drops of water falling from Douglas firs to the ground
- “I’m so sorry, Mommy. There was an earthquake in Elena’s room.”
