This weekend was wonderful! I love getting out of the city and going 'home' to the acreage. Mr. Hyrum has been having some trouble at night time lately. The nights that I am most tired, it seems he has the hardest time getting to sleep. On Saturday night, this happened. It was shortly after 1:00 in the morning and we had just finished a movie. Mr. Stannix and I headed to the spare room to get some sleep. I had to feed Hyrum before bed, but for some reason, he was having troubles eating and started crying a lot. I got up to bounce him in the moonlit room. Once he calmed down a little bit, I could hear the frogs serenading us through the open window in our room. It was the best sound in the world. It made everything so peaceful. There were no buses rushing up and down the street, no loud cars or music, no streetlights...Just the frogs and the quiet. I rocked my little man for a long time before he actually decided to eat and go to sleep but it was such a special experience to take a step back from the business of the world and enjoy the quiet of the night. I watched his little eyes look around in the moonlight and studied his little face. I think he finally drifted off shortly after 2:00 and I was able to cozy up in bed and listen to the frogs put me to sleep. I loved it! Those are the things you just don't experience in the city.
