The Adventures of Boomer on Friday—Sing a Night Song

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Dayphoto

Umpft! Snort! Stretch….ahhh!

What am I hearing?

COYOTES! The Coyotes are close…right in the bean field!

WAKE UP MOM!!! HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWL!

BAYYYYYYYYYY! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I ran to the grain bins and bayed to the coyotes…Scram you nasty critters! I yelled. About that time I heard Mom outside–Good! She scared them away!

Good job!

I trotted back to Mom and we sat on the back step.

Wow! What a beautiful night! It made heart lift in great joy!

So much so I walked into the middle of the lawn; lifted my nose way up in the air, made my mouth into a tiny o, and let out a plaintive sound.

I sang and sang for a very long time. Trying to reach back, back in time to all those that came before.

When I was done Mom called me over and gave me a big hug. “I understand, Boomer. I wish I could reach back in time also” she said.

We sat on the back step, just mom and I, letting the silver light flood over us.

Boomer, excuse me while I have a word with Linda. First of all, that is just beautiful. Such a universal but poetically expressed sentiment. Thank you for that. I share those feelings with both of you. Second, that moon photo is exquisite. Good pictures of the moon are not easy too take, and that one is just beautiful. Boomer, your turn for kudos: good job!

Here is a song I created about the night sky using Garage Bands own instruments…added my own lyrics in to make the song (semi) complete…if you have a few spare minutes I’d love it if you could check it out 🙂 https://juniorchills.wordpress.com/2016/02/29/the-abyss/
