Soft summer evenings...


So, on my mind today are those two cuties.

And summer. Specifically summer evenings. After the rain comes in and cools everything. The air is heavy and smells of earth and grass. The sky is clearing and the sun is setting heavy and orange in the sky. You can smell the rain and hear the crickets. You can watch as the fireflies begin their ascent from the greenery and enjoy their dancing lights across the yard. You catch the faint smokey citronella smell from the bug candles and tiki torches. You feel the cool glass beaded with moisture under your hand and sip the sweet sweet tea. The sound of laughter and kids running through the thick green grass drifts up to your ears and sounds better than any music in the world.

I am anxious for soft summer evenings.
