Laying awake in the middle of the hot and humid night, I listen for the sounds of the night. I hear the sound of the crickets. The sound of the leaves on the trees gently moving. I hear the sound of cats fighting. The sound of the street cleaner. Once in awhile a Harley may drive by. Sometimes I hear voices outside of my bedroom window. As dawm arrives, I hear the chirping of the birds. The cawling of the crows. Sadly the sounds of the night have all gone until it is night time again. —Beauty of the Night

lots of crickets this year, and cicadas in the morning. i love night sounds too
Even more so when you have someone to share your night with.
^^^ nah ^^^ the sound of snoring would mask the tranquil night sounds. my yard finally got tree frogs ( is that what they’re called here? ) this year. love ’em.
i like the look of very leafy trees in the middle of the night, small breeze, the rustling.
nice

That’s okay GDM! I know my older sister wanted a girl but got me instead. However she got me back by subjecting me to those awful play tea parties. At least my brother had to go through it too!
lol, sorry, my ha-ha fell flat. i knew he is a fellow but all the comments about hating the heat, 3 fans etc. i was a good big blister to my brother, because our older sister was a tyrant. man. mom used to leave her to babysit us on the rare time she had to go out, and sister would bugger off, leaving we tykes alone in the house. we would hide under the kitchen table with blankets making a tent and i would be the guard against the terrifying BASEMENT DOOR. she got caught though, mistimed her return and Mom got home first. we still kill ourselves laughing about that stuff when we get together.
