The Crickets' Song

I stepped outside to walk our dogs Mitzi and Sasha and was welcomed with the crickets' song. I didn't notice it right away. At first I just decided to step out onto the lawn and feel the fresh breeze while the dogs went out into the fenced lawn. Then I looked up and was honored with the breath taking view of the stars. I even think I saw the big and little dipper. Right at that moment I heard myself say I wish Vic was out here to see this with me. Then in the distance I heard music. It was soft and soothing. I could hear flutes, guitars, and the vocal sounds of a male singer, but yet then I realized something even more special. All the insects and crickets joined in to compliment the sound of the music. After a while I realized that they were trying to impress the night with the enchanting music of the crickets' song. I put my glass of red wine down on the solid concrete step and took a seat on the lawn chair. To just look up at the stars as I heard the crickets' song. I just took a deep breath and enjoyed for an instance the amazing gift that nature gave us. The Crickets' song.
