Kinda been busy - trying to stay ahead of the grass, taking care of farm business, you name it - sometimes it all hits at once! Anyway, there are bonuses now and then. Last night, I stepped out on the deck to listen to the night, and heard in the distance a Whip-poor-will. Haven't heard one in our valley for several years........but he was very distant. So, Bear and I took the 4-wheeler and went on top of the hill above the pond and listened to him for awhile. He was down in the valley, and sang for us as long as we were there. I might add that we scattered a few deer who had already bedded down up around the pond.......
Many, many years ago, when I was staying with my grandparents, there was a whip-poor-will that sang at night outside our upstairs bedroom window. A beautiful memory.
Oh yes, the soybeans are sprouted and peeping up. Our farmer got the crop in before these last rains.
