Suburban Noise

Lawn mowers, weed whackers, and leaf blowers, oh my.
I prefer the sounds of yesteryear when it comes to lawn care. There was something more rhythmic when the blades of the lawnmower went around to cut the grass. The raking of the leaves in succession and the simple edger going back and forth. I'd much rather wake up to those noises on a weekend morning than the blaring sounds of the motorized equipment.  

There seemed to be a calming effect to the process, it was slower, the sounds were more quiet, somehow comforting. You could speak to someone while they were working. They would notice things around them.
Children weren't in danger while they played.

It was a simpler time, definitely a quieter time.
A time of lemonade and porch swings.
