Thank God for Frogs

Our first night in the Happy Valley was very strange. It was quiet. Very quiet. Too quiet. 

We could not sleep. 

Our old house was next to a very busy street and we were used to hearing cars roar by all night long. 

Here in the Happy Valley; nothing. SILENCE. Total silence. 

This went on for several nights. Then the tree frogs started.

Thank goodness!  Now I could sleep. There was finally noise!
