Ten Favorite Sounds

1. The wind in tall North Carolina pines
2. Rain on a tin roof
3. Dixieland jazz
4. Bagpipes. Seriously. Best if you're actually in the Scottish Highlands.
5. "I'm home."
6. Night sounds: tree frogs, cicadas, owls
   
7. Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring and Vince Guaraldi's "Linus and Lucy"
   
8. That groany-snuffly sound your dog makes when you scratch him just so under the ear
   
9. My children's laughter
10. My husband's giggle when he's really tickled about something
