I woke up at about 2:45 to pee. When I got back in bed I heard a faint and irregular pit… tik……pit it……tak… pit…
What was it? Where was it? Should I worry? A mouse nibbling on a bit of plastic perhaps? I sniffed. No mouse odor.
I held still, listening. It seemed to be at the back, by the floor. I turned on a light, moved some things around and… I saw nothing.
Then the sound stopped. Then it started again. What was it?!?!
I spent about fifteen minutes trying to find the source of the sound. Then it was more rapid and louder.
Oh. It was rain. That’s cool.
Amazing, isn't it, how loud it sounds? And when one hears it so seldom -- esp intermittent -- it's, at least at first, unrecognizable.
ReplyDeleteWind continues here. Cold too. Winter has returned. Jozien says they have snow.
I got my first RV in 1972 so you would think by now I would instantly recognize that noise, NOPE it is never recognized until I search for it,
