Velvet

PS I had to sit out on the deck for a few minutes by myself tonight. The air feels like velvet. How many different varieties of frogs are singing their songs, accompanied by gurgling stream? Moon is dark, at least for the moment. Stars are bright, as they intermittently peak out shyly behind veils of cloud.

A creaking chicken house door sounds. A couple of guineas murmur in the night. Children breathe quietly. So do dogs.

That was exactly what I did last night! We must have been sitting on our decks at the same time, pondering, listening to the evening sounds. I was wishing I could identify what I was hearing. Frogs? Crickets? Some kind of soft noises. Coming from the city, I have no idea what it was.
