First sentence: Nobody goes to church much anymore, though no one does much of anything else so it's quiet, or as quiet as it gets; usually there's a saw or somebody's mower, a drill or a hammer hating another repair we will have to live with and the rare home run from the hallpark and the pulse and trailing whisper of the sprinklers when it's dry and old deaf Winslow's blind old cocker spaniel winds itself up short around the clothes pole again and the soft - almost apologetic - screen door's screech and slam, the trash can's guilty clatter after dark.
