Golden sun light warms the color of all it touches, casting friendly shadows
Sirens blare to and from the fireman's fair around the corner
The air is gloriously cool, barely 70 degrees, the low humidity such a relief
Our home smells of cinnamon and vanilla, another batch of zucchini bread baking in the oven, this time with dried cranberries instead of raisins
Sunflowers bloom elsewhere but will bloom in my garden sometime this month, Morning Glories blooming on the trellis since last week
The mole is back, I found more of his mounded trails again this afternoon in the back yard
The fat little black mouse is back too, scurrying to and from the thick over growth on the other side of the fence out back to eat bird seed
The windows & doors have been open all day for the first time in weeks
Finally the courtyard is quiet, all seem to be in for the evening or at the fair
Lightning bugs, taking flight, blinking
Crickets chirping, Cicada's buzzing grumpily, some other kind of insect sounding off like a whistle at a track meet
My first cup of hot tea after dark in weeks
Evenings like this hint of Autumn and I feel excitement stir in my chest
