A mystery to me....
Why is one cricket chirping outside an open window on a hot summer night so absolutely annoying you can't sleep and want to pull your hair out but thousands singing a night song in unison is relaxing and so a part of summer you'd miss the song if it weren't there?
The same is the Whippoorwill. It's just not summer without hearing at least one. I miss them so much. In Soak and Corntassel and Hopewell there are still so many. I'm not sure people realize how luckily they are to have the summer call of the Whippoorwill.
Oh summer......how I miss you. I promise to keep my bedside window raised on warm nights. And even will deal with the occasional lone annoying cricket if you'll only arrive a little earlier this year.
