Blues and Sounds

Its really quite in the house today.

Well, actually it's semi quite. Because I have the I Love Lucy going, and Mila's little dog tags are clinking together as she snoops around the house looking for tissues and possible crumbs and socks and q-tips and whatever else it is that puppies eat that I will gingerly have to pick up in a poo bag soon. And its POURING outside, so I am also hearing the constant drumming that are no doubt similar to what Noah heard right before he hatched the plan to build the arc.

But my family left yesterday and the absence of the bickering and laughing and general sounds of a group of crazy people that love each other too much, is so deafening that it makes my heart hurt.
