Over here in WV, I know just what you mean. I haven't had the AC on for 3 days now, there has been enough breeze coming through that the only sounds here are the birds, my daughters cow and calf and the newest herd-mates, 11 sheep. They are quite noisy at times however. The horses are down the ridge now and they are pretty quiet all the time and the goats are so intimidated by the cow and the sheep that they have shut up pretty much. Ah, the peace. PS, how could I forget, the noise gets to quite a high level when the Guinies are startled, however. I have never heard such noise-makers.
