As a child, once I started hearing the song of the cicadas, I knew summer was coming to an end.
To this day, I associate the cicada love song with the beginning of school. (Although, now that I’m a parent, that dread I used to feel has turned to joy.)
Some of my other favorite summer sounds include:
- My children’s squeals of delight while splashing in a pool or running through a sprinkler.
- The laughter of family and friends at the lake or a backyard barbecue.
- The music and voices singing along at a concert at Central Park or other outdoor venues.
