This evening, I took little Xena outside.....Temp at like 9:30pm was around 65 degrees. With wet hair and shorts/Tshirt on, I was a bit chilled, but it felt good, and smelled so good.
I stood there for awhile, just listening. I love our house. I love where we're at. We're far enough away from town that it's so very quiet. Yet not too far from town that it takes hours to get the kids to school. There are some trees that are about a good block away, they stand gosh,... 30+ft high?? When the wind blows through them, it's like they're talking to you. It just sounds so relaxing. I guess it kind of reminds me of the days being at the cabin as a kid.
The moon is almost just a sliver in the sky,... it looked rather orange,... but so bright. Everything is brighter here. The stars were all shining,.... not a cloud in the sky. Just a gorgeous evening. I wish I could capture it on camera and show you.... but I thought I could at least blog about it.
Hubby is working tonight,.... one more night to go after this. I will be grateful to have him home for 4 days after this. I'm hopeful that the weather will be as nice as this so we can sit out and enjoy it together.
I guess on that note,... I'm going to bed. I've spent the last 3 days painting. The walls in the dining and kitchen are no longer the off white or almond looking color.... they're sage green :o) It looks pretty darned good. I just need to clean up everything,... and boy do we need to get some nice pictures or something on the walls. We've lived here a year this July and the only room that has something on the walls is Geoffery's room,.... some super hero posters LOL Ahh well.... plenty of other things to do first I guess. I want TREES. We don't have a single REAL tree in our yard yet.
Okay.... I'm beat. Have a great night all!!!
