Have you ever heard the saying “That’s music to my ears”?

It’s a common remark when someone hears a piece of good news.

But if you think about it, we sometimes encounter sounds in nature that are as lovely as music. Birds singing softly in the morning. Leaves rustling in the wind. Or the mellifluous (see definition below) flow of water cascading down a river. It’s not the kind of music you’ll hear on the radio, but it’s definitely worth listening to as often as you can!

Speak Your Mind: What can you think of that’s mellifluous?

MELLIFLUOUS: Sweet or pleasant sounding.
