Every spring since I've lived in this house, I have been lucky enough to hear whippoorwills at night. There has been so much development around here that I was worried they would not be back this year. But tonight I heard one. It has to be one of the most peaceful sounds on earth. I love sleeping with the windows open and falling asleep to the lullaby of their calls. Because hopefully, a mate will begin answering from another tree. And I hope that each year, they are making little baby whippoorwills. And I hope that maybe one day if I am truly blessed and lucky, I will get to hear the sound in a different house, and the lullaby will put me to sleep again.
