Shadow Bear, As kids we slept outside on the ground on a blanket, looking at the stars, shooting stars, meteor showers, feeling bugs whizzing our faces, the breeze, listening to the trees, feeling so small. I would hear the coyotes calling, a dog yelp, a hoot owl, whippoorwill, crickets, tree frogs. maybe a cow off in the distance. There was a pond nearby and we would hear a fish jump up and make a splash. Sometimes it would be so quiet you could hear the wind or the trees talk. My cousins and I would talk low, giggle, and then fall asleep. In the morning my face would be damp from the dew, my hair wet, the sun warm. We would get up and draw water from the spring and help fix the morning meal. Later on when we were older we would sleep up on the roof.

Hi Shadowbear, I remember as a kid, in the summertime we would lay on the ground and look up at all the stars and see what kind of pictures the stars made. It was beautiful - sometimes we would see a picture of a dog, or tree, or whatever, but it was sooo peaceful and beautiful.

LOL. I can believe that for sure. Well, the bats here get them in mid flight....before they land, so do the barn swallows.
