It's late enough that I really should go get the kids to bed. Or at least holler down the stairs about going to bed. But I can't quite bring myself to disturb the peace up here in my room. My window is open and I can hear laughter from the neighbors' kids (okay, so that's not quite so peaceful, but they're not being obnoxious) and the occasional vehicle drive by, but mostly I hear the crickets chirping their rhythmic chorus. The clock in my bathroom ticks a slower tempo. The rest of my house is silent. Ginger, my cat, is curled up in the windowsill keeping vigil.
She keeps company with me often.
After such a busy week I enjoy listening to crickets with only a cat for company for a while.
