After emerging from time spent in the abyss of my own mind yesterday while gardening in my back yard, I tuned into some lovely sounds around me.
A slight breeze cutting through the field out back.
Crickets chirping in our tall grass (grumble... we need to mow).
Many and varied bird songs high in the trees.
My boys scheming together in the grove beside our house.
That was my most favorite sound. Excited voices conversing together in the midst of play. A laugh or shriek thrown in here or there. Two brothers enjoying an afternoon outside together.
They are fun boys. They make friends easily at school, church, and the park, but above all, they are friends with each other. "Best brothers and best friends." That's what they tell me. They have the most fun together and nothing could please me more as their mother. In fact, I can hear them downstairs chatting and giggling their nap time away. That doesn't please me so much.
