Today is Day 5 of the March Slice of Life – the daily writing challenge hosted at “Two Writing Teachers”.
LOUD
As I thought about how I could photograph a sound, it hit me that our newer air conditioner\, which we had installed just last Thursday (before the snow arrived) is a vast improvement over our old one. It is larger but not noisy at all. It sits now on our back walkway, waiting for those hot days of summer.
I can still remember though, that loud noise that would emanate from the back of the house when the AC was tuned on. I was glad the windows were closed, to muffle the sound somewhat. But sitting on the porch wasn’t as enjoyable with the loud rumble of the air conditioner. I also hoped it didn’t disturb our neighbours. They never did complain – they had their own AC and kept their windows shut though.
I’m looking forward to a reliable air conditioner this year, one that will keep us cool, with a lot less noise.

Hmmmm…how do you capture sound in a picture? I never thought about that. I agree, it’s much nicer listening to the sounds of spring and summer instead of a noisy air conditioner–much nicer to hear birds chirping, kids playing, and soft breezes blowing.
For sure Dawn. Spring is just around the corner! (I hope)
You are getting a jump on preparing for hot weather. New appliances (is an air conditioner an appliance) are always so much quieter and more efficient.
I so agree Elsie. We’ve had some nice weather now – my hubby wants to be prepareds.
I can hear that picture in my head! Fear not friend, the cool days will be a blessing. I’m with you on hoping spring is around the corner!
Thanks Stephanie! I sure hope spring arrives soon as well.
As we prepare for another nor’easter I long for the hot days of summer when the air conditioner kicks in. Hope you can enjoy some quiet porch time this summer, Bev.
Thanks Bob. You take care! The NE has been hit repeatedly this winter. Our part of Ontario hasn’t been hit much at all – unlike other years.
