sounds of the summer

I took for granted how quite it can be in a suburban home during the summer months... I use to leave my windows open and listen to the birds chirp while napping in the afternoon... the sounds at my apartment are going to take some time to get used to... the lady downstairs yelling at her kids, the air conditioning unit right outside me window that sounds like a jet plane taking off... the set of unruly boys who party every Friday night across the way and apparently enjoy having screaming contest. The doors that slam shut every ten minutes or so... the lady who calls her son in at 9pm every night by yelling his name from her window for about 20 minutes... the family that BBQ's every night on there patio... Oh the sweet life, where are the birds?
