Quiet

In our backyard, an hour ago or so: 


Last night we had our windows open. 
It was quiet.
I heard a noise. 
Mike heard a noise. 
He walked to a window, looked into the woods and remarked that he could see lights from a house on the other side of the trees. He paused and turned his head so his ear was near the screen.
"Someone has a baby."
 No buses whizzing past, no loud cars or motorcycles. No bass thumping from the trunk. Just a baby. I can take that.
