Sounds of a Late Summer Night

Ahh, summer.

Whether you’re ready for cooler weather and glad to see the kids back in school, or you’re lamenting the fading of the warm and slower paced days, there’s just something about a peaceful summer night.

What you hear now are leaves rustling in the breeze, crickets and katydids chirping and buzzing, frogs singing their rhythmic nighttime songs in the nearby lapping lake or trickling stream.
