Day twenty-eight: 4 am

4 am

Four in the morning,

I hear the birds chirping.

What am I doing?

  

It is four in the morning, the Princess woke up earlier, at one in fact. I don’t know what she is doing, I don’t understand why she wakes up now… I am on zombie mode.

The night is quiet. The silent fell on the city, no more construction noise, even the buzz of the highway is at its lowest. I can hear the sound of the wind in the branches, I can hear those birds chirping.

I just imagine little birds calling for their parents. They nest high on the trees along the canal. It is amazing to see so many variety of them. The place, the city is a haven for birds. Most are coming here to settle during the winter. Then spring coming, they go back to their summer quarters with their young in tow. 

I just listen to the quiet and think it would be great to just have the Nature sound all around. And then, the Princess starts laughing at something… the kids chatter is also great. They just need to know to time it accordingly. Not at night, sweety…
